"I didn't say anything." Zhang Yang took a sip of water and spoke as if Liu Yifei was suspicious.

The two finished their meal in a slightly weird atmosphere. Liu Yifei did not go home, but just took a rest in the studio and then started to make preparations. She wanted to do well and not let certain people look down on her.

After a while, the assistant and the man with glasses walked in together.

Eyes said first: "Boss, the post-production of Oppenheimer has been completed."

"Have you finished editing the behind-the-scenes footage, trailers, and stuff like that?"

"Everything is ready. The post-production of the movie "My Motherland and I" will be completed in another month." Yanjingzai and his team have been busy for more than a year and can finally take a break.

"Don't rush to work on 'My Motherland and I' for now. Take a week to adjust. Then edit the MV for 'Fireworks in the World' for me first, and then we can work on it slowly."

The guy with glasses nodded indifferently. After editing two art films, their post-production department felt that they had made great progress. Now editing commercial films was like a piece of cake.

After he reported the matter, he left immediately.

The assistant then told him about the contact with Hengdian and the production team's location scouting. When Hengdian heard that Zhang Yang was going to shoot a MV, they immediately promised that no matter what location they wanted to use, they would do their best to coordinate.

Liu Yifei frowned: "This will make us offend people too."

"No, they deliberately said it in a very nice way. Now, affected by relevant policies, there are only a dozen or so crews in Hengdian in September, and several of them are online movies." The assistant hurriedly shook his head and explained to the proprietress.

At present, the number of film crews starting shooting not only in Hengdian, but also across the country has been reduced by more than half.

Previously, Hengdian received as many as 40 to 50 film crews at the same time. Now, there is only one-third left. The cold winter of the film and television industry is no joke.

After the assistant finished talking about business, he took the initiative to say, "Something interesting happened today. Would the boss like to know about it?" Under normal circumstances, he would have just said it directly, but today the boss had business to attend to. What if he didn't want to listen?

"What's the matter?" Liu Yifei asked curiously. She had been recording songs for half a day this morning, which was already very boring. Moreover, she was teased by Zhang Yang, so she needed to eat some melon to quench her thirst.

"Zhang Yuqi recently stabbed her husband with a knife."

"So cruel? What's the grudge or hatred?" Liu Yifei, also a woman, was shocked by her. She didn't want to get a divorce, but she did it like this...

"I heard that Zhang Yuqi went to help pay the property management fee and found out that the Sinan Mansion where they lived was only for rent and not for sale. After returning, she had an argument with her husband..."

It turned out to be a murder caused by a house.

"I should have asked her to play in 'She Vanished'. She is a real crazy beauty. Tang Yan is still a little short of that." Zhang Yang sighed.

This sister is really bluffing. I guess only a crazy guy can subdue her.

Liu Yifei felt that Zhang Yang was having a mental breakdown again. People like him should stay away from her, otherwise she would be infected.

There were no problems in recording the song that afternoon. After more than an hour, the recording of "Human Fireworks" was completed.

They started packing their luggage as soon as they got home. They will go to Hengdian tomorrow and will probably stay there for about a week.

During dinner that day, Liu's mother casually asked Liu Yifei, "Have you packed your luggage?"

Liu Yifei nodded. Zhang Hongyi heard the conversation between his mother and grandmother, and his eyes began to light up: "Mom, are you going on a business trip?"

What he is looking forward to most is that his parents are on business trips. What are they doing at home all the time? They don't know how to be role models when they go out to work hard.

"Yes, your mother and I are both on a business trip, and it will probably take a week or two."

The big devil's words made Zhang Hongyi very happy. It would be great to go on a business trip, and it would be better if the business trip could last for a month.

"During this period, you have to come back every day and recite ancient poems to your grandmother. You can't miss a day, understand?" Liu Yifei's light words made Zhang Hongyi's good mood disappear.

You all left, but you still won't let me go. It's so hard to be your son.

The little guy finally said "Oh" listlessly.

That evening, around nine o'clock, after washing up, Zhang Yang did not return to the bedroom immediately, but went to the study instead.

He called Jim at Paramount to discuss Oppenheimer.

Jim had just arrived at Paramount in the morning and saw Zhang Yang making a phone call. He knew what it was about almost instantly.

"Hey, Zhang Yang, has Oppenheimer been completed?"

"Of course, so we need to discuss its release in the United States." In addition to general release matters,

Paramount had promised him that their company would not release any films within three weeks of his film's release.

"OK, what are your plans?"

“I’m planning on releasing it in mid-October.”

"This schedule is really too tight. How about the second half of the month? Marvel's "Venom" will be released in early October..." Jim introduced Zhang Yang to the recent releases of blockbusters in the United States.

In October, you need to pay attention to "Venom". In November, you need to be careful of "Fantastic Beasts", which will be released in mid-November. There is nothing else to pay attention to, after all, "Oppenheimer" is so powerful.

"Okay, then you all need to make all the arrangements for the movie."

"No problem, Zhang Yang. The Oscar-winning journey of Oppenheimer starts with its internal screening," Jim said confidently.

After all, they have a budget of $100 million, and they have to make sure it works.

"Your company……"

"Don't worry, our company will not release any movies within three weeks of the release of "Oppenheimer." Jim said this without any pressure.

Not to mention three weeks, even six weeks would be no problem, because their company's next movie, "Bumblebee," will not be released until January next year.

"Okay, then let's announce the release date of "Oppenheimer" on October 5th, and I'll go to the United States around the 10th." The main ticket base for this movie is definitely in Europe and the United States, so the promotion will focus on the United States.

"We can do it earlier, like October 10st."

"No, no, no, October 5th." Zhang Yang quickly refused. He suffered a small loss last time because of this matter, and he must learn a lesson this time.

After the two reached an agreement on this matter, Zhang Yang decisively hung up the phone. He wanted to sleep. Going to bed early and getting up early would keep him healthy. The next day, Zhang Yang and his friends took a private plane to Yiwu Airport, and then went to Longjing Radisson Manor Hotel.

After everyone settled in and had lunch, we headed to Hengdian Film and Television City, the Along the River During the Qingming Festival area.

The staff at Ocean Studios looked around and decided this was the right one.

As soon as their team parked the car in the scenic area, a leader of unknown level came over and said to them enthusiastically: "Director Zhang, I will be your guide."

"No need. The staff of my studio have been watching here for several days. I'm just shooting an MV." Zhang Yang shook his hands repeatedly.

"Our Hengdian has a new look every year. You haven't been here for several years, so it's really different." He still refused to give up, so Zhang Yang let him do it.

Next, he took Zhang Yang and his party to visit the Qingming Shanghe Tu area.

It is obvious that this area was built according to the famous Song Dynasty painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". I have to say that the leaders here are very creative.

The markets and palaces of the Northern Song Dynasty are well displayed here.

"Director Zhang, what do you think of our place?"

"The painted boats are beautiful and exquisite, the memorial archways are tall and numerous, and the flowers are vying for beauty. Everything is great." Zhang Yang said politely.

In fact, the biggest problem here is that the place is too small. It is not as good as the film and television city built by poet Chen in Xiangyang for the filming of "The Legend of the Demon Cat". He should not be called poet Chen, but architect Chen.

The Fanlou area is the most beautiful in the whole scenic area. It is also the filming location of Zhang Yang's MV.

After passing the Fanlou area, you will see the Shenhou Mansion, Liushenmen and other places.

Especially at the entrance of Liushenmen, there are posters of Deng Chao and Yang Daming.

"Mimi's look is too Shamatte." Liu Yifei pointed at Yang Daming's poster and laughed.

Zhang Yang looked at Liu Yifei strangely and laughed. If he guessed correctly, there should be a poster of Liu Yifei here in the original time and space.

One afternoon, accompanied by the leaders of Hengdian Film and Television City, they toured the scenic area and took a closer look at several places they would use.

The next morning, at the Radisson Manor Hotel, Liu Yifei was putting on makeup. She looked at the three sets of clothes next to her and asked in surprise, "I have to change three sets of clothes for one MV?"

"Of course. I'm going to shoot the music video using movie standards. How can I be careless?"

"You're not signing your name anyway." Liu Yifei pursed her lips and said indifferently, making the makeup artists who were listening laugh secretly.

However, Zhang Yang explained to her seriously the significance of these three sets of clothes.

The pink dress was what she wore when they first met, suggesting that the lady was moved.

Later, when she went out with the scholar, she wore a beige dress, which represented her elegance and grace as a lady from a noble family.

After the scholar leaves, she wears blue to express her peace and harmony.

"Let me guess, scholars are blue, white, or black?"

Based on Zhang Yang's statement, Liu Yifei deduced the color of the scholar's clothes.

"The last one is wrong. It could have been black, but the lady smiled at the end of the MV, which made people imagine. So when the scholar left, he had to wear purple clothes to represent mystery."

As the two were talking, Liu Yifei finished putting on makeup, changed into green clothes, and everyone went to the shooting site together.

The first scene is the biggest scene in the entire MV, where I lean on the railing and count the lonely sails with tears in my eyes.

Liu Yifei sat at the edge of the attic, staring blankly at the boats in the river, hoping that one of them was the person she was waiting for.

It was very simple to shoot Liu Yifei here. In the morning, we shot the scene where she was in a daze, and in the afternoon, we shot the scene where she showed a surprised smile.

The rest of the time was spent filming the scenes of the boats being dispatched on the river.

The shooting that day was completed at a leisurely pace, but the news that Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei had gone to Hengdian to film also spread from the local area.

After all, the scene was so big that it couldn't be blocked even if we wanted to. Fortunately, there were no pictures to prove it.

Industry insiders who heard the news were a little surprised. They hadn’t heard about Zhang Yang filing a new movie recently. What were they shooting?
When we resumed filming the next day, someone showed up to visit the set in the afternoon.

Both Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei were surprised that there were people visiting the set of their MV, and they were old acquaintances.

When the assistant came to him and told him that Cai Yinong came to visit Liu Yifei, he felt a little strange. What was she doing here now?
But she is the boss of a company after all, so we still have to give her some face.

Cai Yinong did not come alone, she brought a little girl whom Zhang Yang did not know.

After everyone greeted each other, Cai Yinong looked at Liu Yifei, who was dressed in a green ancient costume, and praised her sincerely: "Yifei, you were born for ancient costumes. More than ten years have passed, and you are still so beautiful, and you have such charm in ancient costumes."

"Thank you. It may not look good in a few years, so you might as well wear it a few more times now." Liu Yifei said politely.

"Then do you want to shoot another costume drama?" Cai Yinong's eyes lit up and his imagination opened up.

Liu Yifei was a little moved by what she said, but still shook her head to refuse.

“What you’re shooting is…”

“Song MV.”

Cai Yinong was surprised to hear Liu Yifei's answer, but it was also reasonable.

She and Zhang Yang do whatever they want in the entertainment industry without caring about other people's opinions, and no one can say anything. They are so damn cool.

She thought about introducing the little girl to Zhang Yang and the others.

"Li Landi is a new talent that our company is very optimistic about. He has the potential to become the next Liu Shishi."
