Chapter 481: The Unlucky Director
At this moment, the fire at the film and television base has made headlines in entertainment news and social news:
#XX Film and Television Base caught fire, with thick smoke billowing#
#A fire broke out in the storage room of the crew of Ye Zi'an's new film "Late Ming Dynasty Dreams", and the cause of the fire is unknown#
#The house on the set of "Late Ming Dynasty Dream" was burned through, firefighters arrived to put out the fire, fortunately no casualties were caused#
…
These headlines quickly occupied the most prominent positions on major news portals and apps, and all the students in the Classical Literature Department who came to class early in the morning were discussing this matter.
Liu Lan also saw this news. She stared at the three words "Ye Zian" and frowned.
Even though she and Ye Ziliang had a good relationship and were in close contact, she had never seen Ye Zian again after filming "The Sound of the Wind". The last news she heard about Ye Zian was from He Lushen, who told her that he had refused to take the role in "War of the North Wind".
Liu Lan did some searching on the Internet and found out that the filming of "Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty" had just started less than half a month ago. Ye Zian still took his usual low-key approach and rarely promoted the film. This time, there was not even an opening ceremony.
...
...
Apart from that, she could not find any relevant information about the movie. She only saw a press release saying that "Dreams of the Late Ming Dynasty" was Ye Zian's first historical film and a challenge to himself.
The students who participated in yesterday's firefighting had already started discussing it. Someone asked Liu Lan, "Is Ye Zian the director of your previous movie with a somewhat scary plot?"
Liu Lan nodded.
"He is really unlucky this time. He is the director and must be the main person responsible for the fire!"
"The news said that room was where all the props and costumes for the movie were stored. No wonder it caught fire so quickly."
"Fortunately, the clothes are not worth much."
"You are wrong. Generally, for better movies, especially those with period costumes, costumes are specially ordered before filming begins. There is only one batch and only one piece. They are not available on the market. Now they are all burned. The filming will definitely not be possible. It will take time to restock. Did you forget what Sun Weiwei said yesterday that the rental fee for the filming base is 3,000 yuan per hour. If it is delayed for a few days or a week, the loss will probably be hundreds of thousands."
"The point is that the house burned down like that, so the crew has to pay for it, right?"
"It's so strange. How could the clothes suddenly catch fire? It's not summer now."
…
Because they had experienced the fire firsthand, the students paid special attention to it and kept talking about it until the bell rang. They even talked about it in the class group during class.
Liu Lan was attending class while watching everyone's conversation.
At this moment, Jiang Chengfeng suddenly sent her a message.
"Sister, please help Sister Taozi post the video online."
Liu Lan was confused by this irrelevant statement and typed, "What video?"
"I sent it to your email. It's the video of everyone fighting the fire yesterday. I don't know what Sister Taozi meant, but she asked me to send the video to you."
As soon as Liu Man heard Jiang Chengfeng's words, Tao Zhiyao's message popped up on her phone screen.
"Xiao Man, I can't tell you the details right now. Please use your Weibo to post the video. You have the most fans and the most power to spread the message."
Through the words, Liu Lan could feel Tao Zhiyao's urgency.
Tao Zhiyao was of course very anxious. She and Sun Weiwei had never expected that shooting a video and putting out a fire would actually bring disaster upon themselves.
