Entertainment Industry: I am a top-tier movie star

Filming for "Take My Brother Away" is nearing its end.

Chen Nianbei received a message from Dilraba in advance, saying that filming for "Swords of Legends" had completely wrapped up and she had a few days of free time, so she wanted to come and visit the set.

Chen Nianbei replied, "Welcome, we're almost done filming," and then informed Zhang Lei.

On the day of the set visit, the filming took place in the latter half of the movie. Shi Miao realized that her brother might really have "disappeared," so she braved the heavy rain to run to the abandoned railway tracks where the two of them used to go when they were young to search for him.

It was a scene with a strong emotional intensity, which was a huge test for Liu Haochun.

When Dilraba arrived, filming was in progress. Without alerting anyone, she quietly stood not far behind the monitor, her gaze first drawn to the slender yet determined figure in the rain.

Liu Haochun was soaked to the bone, his hair plastered to his cheeks, and he shouted "Brother" at the top of his lungs.

The rain and tears mingled together, conveying a powerful sense of hope and regret amidst despair.

Dilraba was secretly surprised; this little girl's acting was so powerful.

Immediately, her gaze involuntarily shifted to Chen Nianbei, who was standing next to Zhang Lei and also intently watching the monitor.

He was wearing a simple black T-shirt and cargo pants, his profile was taut, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was completely absorbed in the scene.

Even dressed so casually, he still exuded an undeniable presence on set.

"...Click!"

Zhang Lei's voice came through the rain, tinged with excitement.

"Passed! Excellent!"

The staff on site cheered softly, and the assistant immediately rushed over with a large towel to wrap around the shivering Liu Haochun.

Chen Nianbei also breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile appearing on his face. He turned around to say something to Zhang Lei, when he caught a glimpse of Dilraba on the sidelines.

He paused for a moment, then gestured to Zhang Lei and walked towards Reba.

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you call me?"

Chen Nianbei walked up to her.

His bangs were slightly damp from the raindrops that had drifted in, and his eyes softened.

"I just arrived. I saw you were filming a crucial scene, so I didn't want to disturb you."

Dilraba took off her sun hat, revealing a bright smile.

She was dressed casually today, wearing a white printed T-shirt with light blue denim shorts, and her long hair was tied in a high ponytail. She looked refreshing and full of energy, which contrasted sharply with the busy and tense atmosphere on set.

"It was filmed so well, the girl's performance was so heartbreaking," she exclaimed sincerely.

"Haochun has made great progress."

Chen Nianbei nodded and gave her a brief introduction to Zhang Lei and Liu Haochun.

Zhang Lei already knew this "investor" and greeted him warmly.

Liu Haochun, wrapped in a towel, smiled somewhat shyly at Dilraba, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"Today is the last few scenes, and the crew has booked a place for a wrap dinner tonight. Want to join us?"

Chen Nianbei extended the invitation quite naturally.

"Okay, then I won't be polite," Dilraba readily agreed.

The final scene was successfully filmed in the evening.

Holding a megaphone, Zhang Lei announced in a slightly hoarse but emotional voice:

"Filming for all scenes in 'Take My Brother Away' has wrapped!"

After a brief silence, the set erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

After dozens of days and nights of hard work, sweat, pressure, disputes, and breakthroughs, all of it has now turned into a sense of relief and accomplishment.

Many people had tears in their eyes and hugged each other.

The wrap party was held at a well-known roast duck restaurant near the film and television base, and a large private room was reserved.

The main creators, actors, and heads of various departments of the production team sat at three tables.

The atmosphere was lively, with the aromas of beer, drinks, and roast duck mingling together, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.

As the producer and male lead, Chen Nianbei was naturally placed in the center position.

Zhang Lei stood up first, raised his glass to thank everyone, especially the school for its support, Teacher Li for her guidance, and all the actors for their hard work.

When it was Chen Nianbei's turn, he stood up and his gaze swept over the faces present, some familiar and some he had fought alongside for a long time.

"Director Zhang has already expressed his gratitude, so I'll just add one more thing,"

Chen Nianbei's voice was not loud, but very clear.

"Thank you all for believing in this seemingly far-fetched project, and thank you for everyone's hard work."

Film is a collective art; without you, there would be no "Take My Brother Away".

This toast is to everyone, and to our shared hard work.

He raised his glass and downed it in one gulp. Everyone else followed suit, and the atmosphere became even more lively.

At this moment, Chen Nianbei naturally looked at Reba, who was sitting at the table next to him, and gestured with his hand:

"In addition, I would like to give special thanks to one of the investors of our film, Dilraba."

All eyes immediately focused on Dilraba.

Under the light, with her bright eyes and white teeth, she stood up with a generous smile and raised the glass in her hand:

Wishing our film all the best!

After she finished speaking, she also took a sip.

"Thank you, Ms. Reba!"

Zhang Lei led the way by raising his glass once again.

The others echoed this sentiment, their gazes towards Dilraba filled with more affection and gratitude.

After all, they are the people who supported the project with real money.

However, amidst this lively atmosphere, subtle observations and intuitions began to quietly emerge.

Wang Hao sat next to Li Xiang. Taking advantage of a break in the toasting and chatting, he nudged Li Xiang with his elbow, gestured towards Dilraba with his lip, and whispered:

"Hey, look at Teacher Reba... look at the look in Brother Bei's eyes."

Li Xiang was gnawing on a duck neck when he heard this and looked up to take a closer look.

Reba was listening to an art teacher next to her with a smile, but her gaze would always unconsciously and quickly drift towards Chen Nianbei, who was talking with Zhang Lei and Teacher Li.

The light in those eyes wasn't just from an investor's interest in the project; it also carried a hint of tenderness.

She listened very attentively when Chen Nianbei spoke;

When Chen Nianbei is toasted by others, she will subconsciously pay attention to his wine glass;

When Chen Nianbei occasionally glances in her direction, even if it's just an unintentional glance, the corners of her mouth will unconsciously turn up slightly.

"Tsk,"

Li Xiang spat out the bone and lowered his voice.

"That's not the look you give when evaluating investment projects, that's clearly..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Although Zhang Lei was busy with social engagements, as a director, he naturally possessed keen observation skills.

He also noticed that Dilraba's attention to Chen Nianbei was different from that of an ordinary partner.

But he didn't show it on his face, only sighing inwardly:

Nianbei, that kid, really... has quite a few romantic entanglements. And now there's Dilraba...

Moreover, it seems that Dilraba is a naive girl, and she may have fallen a little too deeply in love.

Zhou Yiran and several other young female staff members exchanged glances, their lips curling into knowing smiles.

A beautiful female investor has a crush on a handsome and talented male producer/lead actor—it's practically a real-life romance, enough for them to gossip about for a long time.

Reba was not completely unaware.

She could feel some people looking at her, but she tried her best to appear poised and confident.

She knew that her feelings for Chen Nianbei had long surpassed those of ordinary friends or business partners.

Chen Nianbei took in everyone's reactions, including Reba's eyes, which she tried to restrain but still couldn't hide.

He remained calm and continued to chat and laugh with everyone, offering toasts and expressing gratitude as appropriate.

The wrap party continued late into the night amidst noise and a slight buzz.

When the event ended, everyone said their goodbyes with reluctance, promising to meet again during post-production.

Dilraba, Chen Nianbei, Zhang Lei, and others were the last to leave the restaurant.

The cool night breeze dispelled the smell of alcohol.

"Shall I take you to the hotel?" Chen Nianbei asked Reba.

"No need to trouble yourself, my assistant's car is just ahead."

Reba shook her head, looking at him; her eyes shone brightly in the night.

"Okay, be careful on the road." Chen Nianbei nodded.

"Goodbye, Director Zhang, Nianbei! Goodbye everyone!"

Dilraba waved to the crowd, turned and walked towards the car waiting by the roadside, her back view elegant.

Watching the car merge into the traffic, Zhang Lei put his arm around Chen Nianbei's shoulder, chuckling with a hint of alcohol on his lips.

"Nianbei, our investor... his intentions are not simple."

Chen Nianbei glanced at him, but didn't reply. She just looked at the dazzling neon lights in the distance and let out a soft breath.

The movie is finished, but the story beyond the story seems to be just beginning a new chapter.

Naza's support, Dilraba's excitement, and this film, "Take My Brother Away," which embodies everyone's hard work and is about to enter post-production...

"Let's go."

Chen Nianbei patted Zhang Lei on the shoulder.

"Go back to sleep. Tomorrow, we'll tackle this tough nut of post-production."
