I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Led by Li Qin, the women spontaneously organized themselves, like the Red Army girls, carrying torches, wearing new clothes they usually couldn't bear to wear, and lined up in neat rows on one side of the ferry, singing songs to bid farewell to the Red Army soldiers.

Their melodious singing was so moving and brought tears to the eyes of many Red Army soldiers. This scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers and became a warm memory on their Long March.

Li Qin not only bid farewell to the Red Army with her songs, but also to her newly engaged husband.

Against the backdrop of both uplifting and sorrowful melodies, this scene was truly heart-wrenching.

This scene was filmed continuously for ten days before it was finally finished.

The number of times the call to stop was as high as hundreds of times.

There are just too many people, making it difficult to manage them all.

By the end of filming, Cheng Sheng was almost driven to despair, and he vowed in his heart that he would never film a script that wasn't provided by the simulation panel again.

Previously, with a mock script as a backup, even if the scene was large, everyone would film according to the script without Cheng Sheng having to spend too much effort in the immersive environment.

Without experiencing it firsthand, the hardships of filming are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

This also made Cheng Sheng realize his true capabilities.

With the added advantage of being there in person, his directing ability truly surpasses that of any other director.

But without experiencing it firsthand, he's just a director with a little bit of talent, far inferior to Zhang Yimou and others in terms of skill.

In the blink of an eye, it's August.

That day, Cheng Sheng sat next to the monitor screen and shouted, "Cut! That's enough filming for today. Everyone can go back and rest."

"Long live the director."

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered with joy.

Long hours of filming have left everyone physically and mentally exhausted, so everyone is naturally happy to have some time to rest.

"Great Demon, come down here, I have something to tell you."

Cheng Sheng called out to the bloated demon.

"Director Cheng, what's the matter?"

The enlarged demon asked in confusion.

"The premiere of 'Three Kingdoms' is coming up soon, and I need to go back to the capital. Starting tomorrow, the production team will be in your hands."

"Director, I can't do it."

Peng Da Mo is not yet a future big director, and he is somewhat nervous about directing such a large film crew.

“You’ve been with me for a while now, and I trust your abilities. Don’t worry, go for it. Even if you make a mistake, I’ll be there to cover for you,” Cheng Sheng said, patting him on the shoulder.

"Thank you, director."

The enlarged demon expressed its gratitude upon hearing this.

With Cheng Sheng's words, he could go ahead and do it.

"By the way, Zeng Li's scenes are on hold. She'll be coming back to Kyoto with me for the premiere. You can film other scenes first."

"it is good."

Zeng Li played Empress He in "Three Kingdoms", which can be considered a second female lead.

She will definitely attend the movie premiere.

After explaining things to the bloated demon.

Cheng Sheng then went to find Zeng Li.

This time, because he had important business to attend to, Cheng Sheng walked into Zeng Li's room openly and honestly.

Although the people outside saw it, they didn't really suspect anything.

"You're finishing so early today, are you planning to go back to Beijing tomorrow?"

Seeing Cheng Sheng enter, Zeng Li, who was applying moisturizer to her skin, turned her head and asked. "Well, the premiere of 'Three Kingdoms' is in a couple of days, so I need to go back and prepare. You'll come back with me tomorrow; you're the second female lead in the movie, you can't be absent," Cheng Sheng said, sitting down next to Zeng Li.

"Should I go back too?" Zeng Li hesitated for a moment and said, "I'd better not. How can I go back like this?"

Although Zeng Li has been taking care of her skin these days, it won't be long before it fully recovers.

She didn't want to go back and face the reporters' cameras; the photos they took would be terrifying.

She had already decided that after the movie ended, she would stay at home and only show her face when she had fully recovered her former radiant appearance.

Cheng Sheng had originally intended to try to persuade her, but seeing the determination in Zeng Li's eyes, he gave up after thinking about it.

Since they're unwilling, then forget it. Anyway, the premiere will still be held even if Zeng Li doesn't attend.

"Row."

Just then, an older woman brought in the food.

"Thank you, Aunt Fang."

Cheng Sheng and Zeng Li expressed their gratitude.

Then the two of them ate in the room.

Although the food in the countryside is not plentiful, it is the safest, with little pesticide residue and very tender vegetables.

After finishing his meal, Cheng Sheng left Zeng Li's room and leisurely walked back to his own room.

He first folded the slightly messy blankets on the bed neatly, and then arranged the books scattered on the desk in an orderly manner.

Zeng Li spent the night in his room last night and didn't go back until early this morning.

Cheng Sheng got up late and didn't do the cleanup work after the big battle last night.

Fortunately, he was the head of the production team, and no one dared to enter his room without his permission.

That's why he was able to clean up the battlefield after the great battle at this time.

After cleaning up the floor, Cheng Sheng walked out of the room with light steps.

At that moment, Zeng Li also came out.

She was dressed in a simple and elegant casual outfit, which made her look exceptionally capable.

Seeing Cheng Sheng come out, Zeng Li smiled and nodded at him, and then the two walked out of the village together.

Along the way, the evening sunlight shone through the sparse leaves onto the two of them, and a gentle breeze caressed their faces, bringing a touch of coolness.

Cheng Sheng and Zeng Li walked side by side, but always kept a distance of about half a meter between them.

Such a distance is perfectly normal for ordinary friends; it neither appears overly intimate nor gives the impression of distance.

After all, their special relationship must not only remain unnoticed by the crew, but also avoid arousing suspicion from others.

Zeng Li, in particular, is seven years older than Cheng Sheng. She's practically a millionaire, and she doesn't want to be accused of being an old cow eating young grass.

She knew all too well that any rumors could cause her and Cheng Sheng a great deal of trouble.

Cheng Sheng greeted the villagers and crew members he encountered with a smile.

Those who saw Cheng Sheng and Zeng Li did not suspect their relationship; instead, they assumed they were taking a walk after finishing their meal!

"Cheng Sheng, it's best if our relationship remains 'underground' for now. We're just ordinary friends. So when you come to see me in the future, be careful of your surroundings and don't get photographed by reporters. Don't accidentally give anything away," Zeng Li said softly as they walked.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng understood Zeng Li's concerns. Since neither of them was married, he didn't mind revealing their relationship.

What difference does it make if you're a few years older?
As long as the other person is happy, why care about what others think?

However, Cheng Sheng respected Zeng Li's opinion. Since she didn't want to reveal it, he wouldn't deliberately expose their relationship.

"Yes, Sister Li, please don't worry! I will definitely be careful and make sure no one notices anything unusual."

As he spoke, seeing Jiao Junyan and Zhang Xiaofei approaching, he deliberately increased the distance between himself and Zeng Li, as if afraid of accidentally crossing that invisible boundary. (End of Chapter)
