"Director, how much progress have you made?"
At the same time, a science fiction film was also being filmed at another film and television base in the country.
The director waved his hand and said proudly, "Hey, boss, don't worry, I'm shooting very fast. I can finish it in two months at the most. At this rate, we can even catch up with the National Day holiday! By then, even if Zhou Yiyang starts marketing, we won't be able to catch him off guard."
However, this time the investor raised his eyebrows and seemed a little unhappy.
"You're shooting so fast?" he asked coldly.
The director was also stunned. He remembered that this investor was notorious for not caring about the quality of the finished film. Therefore, the movies he invested in almost all relied on traffic stars and vulgar marketing to make money.
Could it be that he has changed his personality? The director was a little anxious. He had some talent in his early years, but now he has become accustomed to making all kinds of bad movies. His spiritual energy has long disappeared.
Just as he was about to persuade the investor that the quality of a film had nothing to do with its box office, the investor looked down at him and said:
"You need to revise the plot and add a new character for me. She can be the second female lead, but she must have the most screen time."
The investor said seriously.
The director reacted immediately, breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed heartily: "Boss, that's easy to say!"
He rubbed his hands together and said with some anticipation, "Don't worry, I will definitely make her the most outstanding. When the time comes, I will revise the eighth script and give it to you for review."
"No, no," the investor waved his hand. "Just leave it to my assistant. Of course, I'll definitely benefit from your help."
Zhou Yiyang on the other side didn't know about this. Even if he knew the future, he would only find out that Hongtao Entertainment had launched a project for a love movie. He couldn't think of changing it into a science fiction movie, nor would he think in that direction.
So both crews began their filming work in an orderly manner.
It was August, and Zhou Yiyang finished today's shooting early. He then looked at the four people who had already picked up their bags and were ready to leave.
"I won't be accompanying you to this event," Zhou Yiyang pressed his forehead. "I have to go back and review the footage I filmed before. If it's not good, I'll have to reshoot it."
Lin Xuan'er nodded. "Brother Yang, don't worry. Sister Fei and Brother Bai are here. Besides, Brother Chen and Brother Hu have already left. We've been in the industry for so long now. We're no longer the ignorant little girls we were at the beginning."
"Yes," Tang Yue puffed out her chest and said with a bit of pride, "Now we have a certain status in the circle. Other artists are eager to curry favor with us, so how could they bully us?"
Wang Xingrui glanced at Su Yin who was leaning against her and did not disturb her.
It wasn't that Su Yin was tired, but she had just been so immersed in a scene that she couldn't get out of it immediately.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. When they got in the car, Su Yin had regained her energy.
"I'm sure we won't be able to eat enough at this event," Su Yin sighed. "It was so good when we first debuted. No one would talk to us at any event, so we could just keep eating. But now it's not possible. Not only are there people staring at us everywhere, but they're also talking the entire time during an event."
"It can't be helped," Wang Xingrui stretched. "If we ignore them, we'll be accused of being arrogant. But an event lasts for several hours, and people keep coming to greet us the whole time. It's really tiring."
"Isn't the most tiring thing about you having to smile all the time?" Tang Yue shook her head. "That's why we need a higher status. Then, when people come to see us, they have to rely on introductions. Otherwise, they won't dare to come."
"You're dreaming!" Lin Xuan'er poked Tang Yue's head. "This status is about as high as Brother Bei's!"
They were attending an engagement dinner for two celebrities. Although it was just an engagement, hundreds of media outlets and celebrities were invited, and they even bought up the buzz for a whole week starting last week.
All four of them felt that this artist couple was not getting married, but doing business.
"Don't you think the most amazing thing is that we've never met either of them?" Wang Xingrui muttered softly, "In our village, if you invite someone you don't know well to a wedding, people will talk about you behind your back. Of course, I definitely still hope that they will have a happy marriage."
"That's for sure," Su Yin smiled as she leaned against the window. "Although it was quite unexpected when we received the invitation, the wedding candy they gave us was still very nice."
"That's true," Lin Xuan'er nodded. "I remember Sister Dong Yinyin shared this brand on Weibo. It's very expensive."
The four of them chatted for a while, but because they were too tired from filming, they all fell asleep halfway through.
Guan Fei walked over and took a look at them, then quietly turned up the air conditioning temperature in the car a little bit.
When they woke up, they had already arrived at the engagement party. The other party had booked a new five-star hotel.
"I've been to this hotel before, if I remember correctly, it's related to Brother Yang, right?" Tang Yue chuckled.
"To be precise," Lin Xuan'er added, "Brother Yang, Young Master Chen, Mr. Huang, and Young Master Ning invested together."
"But apart from Mr. Chen," Su Yin raised an eyebrow, "the identities of the other three are kept secret. I think the sudden popularity of this hotel must be related to Brother Yang."
"That's right," Wang Xingrui laughed out loud, "Brother Yang's marketing tactics are simply terrifying."
After they got off the car, chatting and laughing, they found a red carpet laid out in front of the hotel.
That’s not all, but there were reporters squatting on both sides of the red carpet.
Looking at the flashing lights ahead, Guan Fei, who was following nearby, grumbled, "No way, this is an engagement party? I feel like it's like an awards ceremony. It's too grand."
"This isn't normal," Tang Yue pulled out her phone and saw Reyi, unsurprisingly: "The live broadcast of the century wedding is indeed a huge investment."
They all quickly put on smiles because all the photographers turned around at the same time and pointed their cameras at them.
This made several stars who were walking on the red carpet very embarrassed. In the blink of an eye, there was no one around them.
Fortunately, they have long been accustomed to this kind of treatment. In this circle where the rich and powerful are the most powerful, those who are not famous have no say.
"After a month of absence, your first appearance was at Wang Ni and Liu Xiao's wedding. Is it because you and Wang Ni are best friends?"
"Can't you reveal a little bit about your new movie? We're all really looking forward to it!"
"Have you decided on your third album and concert? I and your fans are looking forward to it."
"Can you share how you, Wang Ni, and Liu Xiao became friends?"
Faced with a barrage of questions, they didn't respond. They didn't want to overshadow the bride and groom and become the main characters.
Luo Chen, who had arrived at the scene earlier, walked over and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. You're too slow! Dear media friends, please focus on tonight's protagonist!"
