Xia Xicheng obviously noticed that his sister, Sheng Yuan, was in a bad mood.

Although Sheng Yuan usually doesn't talk much, and except when she's filming, she's not interested and nothing else can catch her attention.

But whether it was Xia Xicheng or those young male actors in the crew who loved to play Impact 3 and had a "worship the boss" mentality and took the initiative to come forward to talk to her, she would respond, and sometimes you could see the corners of her lips slightly raised.

But now——

Xia Xicheng, who was standing behind Director Jiang, saw on the camera screen that after a scene ended, the girl drooped her transparent eyelids, with a tense white face, and walked out of the landscape shed with a depressed look on her face.

Sheng Yuan was about to finish filming, and every scene up to this point was going very smoothly for her. She just hummed in response to Director Jiang's generous praise and encouragement.

Then she returned to the lounge chair without saying a word. Xia Xicheng actually sensed a little...sadness in her back?!

At first, Xia Xicheng was very confused about what was going on.

It wasn’t until the trending searches on Weibo that night that he suddenly realized——

The XXX crew set off for France last night to shoot. It is reported that the shooting location is a historical relic that has been preserved for XXX years. Some of the actors who went there include the actor Shi Yan, XX, XX, XX6 and others.

The accompanying pictures are several photos taken outside the Beijing airport, which capture the crew's business car and the crew's director and staff talking with their heads down.

Although Shi Yan is not in the show, there is no doubt about Shi Yan's popularity. Since his comeback, his popularity has been rising.

There are already few and boring updates about him on the Internet, and his itinerary was finally dug out. As soon as the marketing account released it, it directly became a hot topic.

The two words "Shi Yan" mean traffic.

Marketing accounts are well aware of this and have followed suit and reposted the posts. Even though the paparazzi didn't take any photos of the person involved, they just posted previous ones and still managed to attract a large number of fans.

Shi Yan’s topic directly occupied the top five hot searches.

The discussion was extremely heated.

Since the update of Weibo APP, the hot search list has been divided into several sections, including entertainment, finance, society, etc.

At this time, no one paid attention to the international financial news that topped the financial section.

Fu Group, known as the leading enterprise in network information security technology, was recently involved in a chip data theft scandal. Its French stock market fell below X% overnight, shocking the public. The main person in charge, the second largest shareholder of the group, Vice Chairman Fu Xun, was held accountable by the entire board of directors...

There were also netizens who accidentally saw this message, but they just glanced at it casually and then exited the interface. They had no interest in it at all. The main reason was that this kind of thing was too far away from the world of ordinary people like them, a gap of tens of thousands of miles away.

Look at what the news said, the amount of losses is as high as tens of billions, hiss - don't scare people to death.

…

The flight was nearly ten hours.

The crew landed in France at around seven in the morning, and everyone arrived at their hotel at eight o'clock.

Because of jet lag, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

"Brother Yan, call me anytime if you need anything."

It was impossible to sleep well after sitting on the plane for such a long time. Xiao Zhou rubbed his stiff neck, yawned, closed the door for Shi Yan and left.

His room was right next door. Feeling sleepy and tired, he fell directly onto the bed and covered himself with the quilt. Within a minute, he began to snore.

…

In the next room.

It was completely silent.

The lights were not on and the thick curtains were drawn tightly, blocking out all the bright light from the window. The occasional ray of light that showed through the gap did not have much effect.

The suitcase was still left in the entrance hall, no one cared about it.

Her hair half covered her eyebrows and her eyelids closed slowly, revealing a sense of nonchalance.

Next second.

There was a knock on the door.

Very rhythmic, regular and coherent.

Shi Yan stood up, having put on a mask and a hat, which covered his entire face in a low-key manner, but still couldn't conceal the cold aura around him. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a pair of superior long legs stepping on the carpeted floor. His whole body exuded a sense of restrained power.

I opened the door and heard an extremely respectful male voice from outside.

"Director Fu asked us to pick you up."

At the special exit of the back door of the hotel, a black car has been waiting for a long time. There is no sign on the front of the car, which looks very mysterious.

Three minutes later.

It started the engine, and after turning two corners, it flowed into the endless flow of traffic, and its trace completely disappeared in this magnificent city that looked like a palace or castle.

Xiao Zhou was already in a deep sleep, drooling over the quilt, completely unaware that the next door room was empty.

…

at the same time.

Upstairs in the hotel, the director's room.

"No, what does this mean? They didn't say a word when we were filming, but after we finished filming, they came to tell me that it wasn't good and asked us to do it again. Without saying anything, they just told us to come to France."

"All domestic filming has been stopped! This will really delay the progress, okay?!"

"I'm telling you, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, this matter will never end!"

Since the Beijing Film Academy, the director has never calmed down. Now nearly fifty years old, he is also an experienced and veteran director.

I have been in this industry for so many years, but I have never encountered such an incredible thing.

The director was holding a phone in his hand, using international roaming, cursing and pacing anxiously in the room.

"Lao Chen, hey Lao Chen, calm down, let's calm down. It's only five days, it will be quick, it won't delay anything." The person on the other end of the phone tried to comfort him.

Old Chen raised his voice and waved his hand: "You can't calm down! What do you mean it's only five days? What are you talking about?!"

"If you don't explain clearly, I will scold you even if you are the producer! Humph!"

This matter is indeed outrageous, so the producer has always been polite.

"Hey... this - to tell you the truth, this is what the investors above mean."

"Investors?!" Old Chen got even angrier when he heard this: "Even if they are investors, they can't do this. Isn't this just making things difficult for us? Do you think we have nothing better to do than to reshoot what we've already done?"

"That's definitely not what they meant, Old Chen. They've already added money, so it's not too much to ask for a little bit."

Lao Chen disagreed: "Add money? Just add money and you can do whatever you want? You should at least have the minimum respect for others!"

The producer paused for three seconds and explained, "... a lot has been added."

"Oh, how many can there be?"

Are there not enough wealthy investors in the industry now? (End of this chapter)
