Chapter 906: An old man is letting his youthful passion run wild?
'Luna' and 'Calypso' left Cork Harbour again and began their intensive filming.
Sheridan rubbed his head early in the morning and walked to Xiao Peng's room. Although the door was open, he still knocked on it: "Xiao, are you up?"
Xiao Peng was in high spirits inside: "Oh, Sheridan, I thought you could still sleep in!"
Sheridan covered his head and said, "Damn, how much did I drink?"
Xiao Peng spread out his hands and said, "You didn't drink much. You finished two bottles of Bushmills by yourself."
Sheridan covered his face and said, "I didn't do anything out of the ordinary yesterday, did I?"
Xiao Peng smiled and shook his head: "Of course, generally speaking, I haven't done anything too out of the ordinary."
Sheridan was shocked when he heard this: "I didn't do anything 'too outrageous'? What did I do?"
Xiao Peng grinned and said, "Nothing much. You just peed in the pool during the party and walked your bird in public. I had to dump out all the water in the pool. Forget about having another pool party on this trip."
Sheridan was dumbfounded. "Huh?"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "I'm just teasing you."
Sheridan heaved a sigh of relief. "You scared me. I was just thinking I wouldn't do such a thing."
Xiao Peng continued, "Having pool parties in the future is still fine. After all, we have freshwater purification equipment on board, so we can refill the pool's water at any time. It just takes some time and fuel. But the fact that you were walking your bird in public is true. I often hear about 'old men talking about youthful passion,' but I saw it with my own eyes yesterday! The key is that so many girls are used to it and are so cooperative with you. If I hadn't stopped them and had my men send you back to your rooms, you and those two girls would have had a public sex show. Is your entertainment industry all so chaotic? Sheridan, your body is fine!"
Sheridan's old face flushed: "Xiao, you are not kidding me?"
Xiao Peng said succinctly: "No."
Sheridan coughed twice and said, "Mr. Xiao, you didn't take any pictures, did you?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "Of course not, are we such unkind people?"
Sheridan breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Peng continued, "It's recorded!"
"Huh?" Sheridan froze in his tracks.
Xiao Peng explained: "We Chinese people attach great importance to safety. There are surveillance cameras everywhere on the ship, recording everything that happens on the ship at any time."
Sheridan was embarrassed after hearing this: "Xiao, can we discuss deleting these videos?"
Xiao Peng's face was as bright as a flower, but suddenly he frowned and said, "Director Sheridan, you are a director I admire, but can you shoot this movie well?"
"Huh?" Sheridan was stunned.
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers: "You know what I'm talking about!"
Sheridan found Xiao Peng and told him that he wanted to film the extravagant life on the "Luna" to contrast the difficult life of the protagonist.
Xiao Peng was furious. "Are you promoting Chinese culture or destroying the image of the Chinese people?" He flatly rejected Sheridan's proposal, but Sheridan pestered him constantly, talking about 'dedicating oneself to art.'" Xiao Peng was also frustrated: "There aren't even maids on the Luna. Do you think I'm someone who lives a life of luxury?"
No women? No problem! The crew will find you one!
Xiao Peng refused again, saying that he was Chinese and had no experience in organizing parties.
How about we do it as a 'drill' first?
Fine then! We've just finished filming the drama scenes on the 'Calypsope', so the next focus should be on filming the 'Luna'. So why not just throw a big party for everyone on the 'Luna'? It's a way to relax, and it'll also give Xiao Peng some experience throwing parties, right?
Filming on the ship these days was incredibly boring. The crew on the Calypsope were practically driven crazy: the lack of privacy, the cramped conditions, and the harsh conditions on board were driving them crazy.
Besides, filming is a very boring thing, and Sheridan is a director who likes to cut multiple shots. What does this mean?
The same scene would be filmed once from angle A, then the same lines and plot would be filmed again from angle B... The actors would say the same lines and do the same actions multiple times, and then edit them in post-production. The process was tedious.
Furthermore, filming wasn't continuous. One scene might show the hero and heroine chatting about love and life in a ship's cabin; the next, they're filming underwater exploration from an ROV; and the next, the heroine changes clothes and films a work video from a crane's operating cabin... Of course, those were just pretense. The desired effects were achieved through camera movement and computer post-production.
But no matter what, filming is really a boring thing. Xiao Peng was curious at first and flew over with a drone to take a look, but he almost fell asleep after watching for a while.
Even Xiao Peng couldn't handle it, let alone the crew and actors! They were practically going crazy. "And this was at sea, there was nowhere to relax, and now they heard there was a party on the Luna?" They were completely fired up.
After all, this is at sea, so there is no need to worry about paparazzi and no one else can see it.
What exactly is going on? It's the kind of thing that wouldn't even pass muster. It has absolutely nothing to do with the word "bottom line"! Even Sheridan, at his age, couldn't control himself and let loose.
As a result, Sheridan was indulged for a while, but when he woke up and saw the situation in the room, he was completely confused.
It’s not that he hasn’t experienced such things before. Just like Xiao Peng said: "Is the entertainment industry so chaotic?"
Well, this should be an affirmative sentence.
But he could do whatever crazy he wanted when he was on his own, but now that he was caught in the act, he was worried: if the surveillance video on Xiao Peng's ship leaked out, his reputation would be ruined - and he had a mission to do this filming, and you guys came out and messed up the filming of a movie that the country attaches so much importance to?
Don’t even think about staying in Ireland anymore!
"Mr. Xiao..." He looked at Xiao Peng with a pleading look on his face.
Xiao Peng sneered, "Sheridan, why don't you just focus on making a good movie? Why do you have to sneak in some ulterior motives? Look at what you filmed, the overworked crew on board! What's the point? Are you trying to show moviegoers how hard we Chinese work? How we exploit our employees? And you even want to film me living a life of luxury? Hey, you guys are having a lot more fun than I am! I'm ashamed of myself! Now I have the footage! I'm going to post it online so people can see what happened on the Luna last night!"
"Don't do that!" Sheridan said hurriedly, "Mr. Xiao, you really misunderstood me! I really didn't mean to do any private work."
"Hmm? How are you going to explain this?"
