Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

The next morning.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the makeshift outdoor set in Yuanshan Town. The ground was still a bit muddy, but it didn't affect the filming.

This is a scene of charging into battle.

"All teams, get ready!" Liu Meng shouted through a megaphone. "One last check of the explosion points! Actors, take your positions!"

Xu Ying, Zhu Yilong, Luo Jin, and other members of Lone Wolf Team B were fully armed, their faces covered in paint, and they crouched behind cover.

This is the highlight of the Lone Wolf B team's coordinated operation to storm the drug cartel's stronghold.

"Scene 189 of 'I Am a Special Forces Soldier,' three, two, one, action!"

Gunshots and explosions rang out instantly.

Xu Ying, who plays Zhuang Yan, is the first to leap out of the cover, his tactical movements clean and efficient as he weaves through the simulated hail of bullets.

Zhu Yilong and Luo Jin followed closely behind. The three of them had developed a very good working relationship after training and practice during the initial filming.

The camera follows their charge.

Liu Meng's voice came through the loudspeaker, "Passed!"

There was a moment of silence, followed by cheers.

After more than three months of filming, the scenes in Yunnan Province for "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" have officially wrapped up.

The wrap party that evening was held at a small restaurant in town.

Liu Meng raised his glass, his eyes slightly red, "Thank you all for your hard work these past few months! This drama wasn't easy to film, but I dare say it was worth it!"

"Tonight, let's drink until we drop!"

Everyone raised their glasses, creating a lively atmosphere.

Xu Ying sat at the table, looking at the familiar faces in front of him. Zhu Yilong was drinking with Xu Jia, Luo Jin was taking a photo with Zhao Xun, and Liu Meng was toasting at each table.

The wrap party lasted until late at night, and everyone was already quite drunk.

Xu Ying was the same.

......

The day after returning to the capital, Xu Ying went straight to Shiba Culture.

Yang Siwei's office was piled high with various documents. Upon seeing him enter, she immediately pulled out a thick budget sheet.

"Brother Xu, you're finally back. The pre-production work for the movie is basically done, and we're just waiting for you, the director, producer, and lead actor, to finalize the details."

Xu Ying now has three identities.

"That's very detailed, thank you for your hard work, Sister Yang."

On the other side, Guo Fan was also there, sporting dark circles under his eyes but full of energy, spreading a stack of storyboards and scene designs on the table.

"Junior brother, look, it's been adjusted again according to your ideas, especially the key scenes between Huang Xiaoxian and Wang Xiaojian."

Xu Ying took it and turned the pages one by one.

Guo Fan's preparations were even more meticulous than he had imagined. The composition and lighting design of many scenes were already quite in shape, and some places even had possible camera positions and scheduling suggestions marked.

It's clear that he truly poured his heart and soul into this project.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior brother." Xu Ying nodded. He trusted Guo Fan completely.

Yang Siwei then reported, "Regarding the actors, the contracts for actors such as Zhang Jiayi and Wang Yaoqing have been signed, and their schedules have been coordinated."

The pre-production work for the film has been basically completed.

The film project has been approved, and Yang Siwei has received the filing receipt.

The most troublesome part is actually clarifying the production budget, which includes the main cast's salaries, filming and production costs, post-production costs, publicity and distribution costs, and so on.

This part is quite complicated, but Yang Siwei has already completed it all. She couldn't do it alone, but fortunately, she has Shiba Culture behind her.

As for equipment rental, costumes, props, location scouting, etc., these are all minor issues.

The filming schedule has also been arranged; the total filming time for "Love is Not Blind" is less than a month.

Xu Ying was just a hands-off manager; Guo Fan and Yang Siwei were actually in charge of everything in the movie.

With these two capable assistants, the framework of the entire project has been solidly established.

"After that, we proceeded according to plan. There were no problems with Tian Tian's side, and she finished filming in a few days."

"Okay, then I'll make the arrangements directly." Guo Fan nodded. He had been worried that Jing Tian wouldn't be able to make it in time for the filming, but now that everything was fine, they could start the subsequent work.

Guo Fan was very excited. This was his first movie, and his junior brother thought too highly of him.

Guo Fan truly understood what trust meant from Xu Ying.

We absolutely cannot let this movie go wrong. Guo Fan is a very serious person, and with the added boost of trust, he's putting in even more effort.

Actually, it doesn't matter who directs this movie, the effect is about the same. The key is the accurate positioning of the script.

There's still a week until the official start of filming.

During this week, Xu Ying went to the company almost every day to repeatedly refine the storyboards with Guo Fan and confirm scene details with the art and prop teams.

Three days before filming began, the main actors arrived at the set one after another for a meeting.

Jing Tian also returned and came to the film crew immediately.

Inside the hotel room.

"Senior brother, no, I should call you Director Xu~ Hehe." Jing Tian smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling. "Director Xu, are you willing to take advantage of me?"

It had been several months since I'd seen my senior, and I missed him terribly.

She jumped and hung herself on Xu Ying's body.

Xu Ying hugged Jing Tian's bottom, the unique fragrance emanating from her body filling his nostrils. "Junior sister, why have you gotten so thin?"

"Because I'm on a diet~" Jing Tian buried her head in Xu Ying's neck, her nose twitching slightly, "Senior brother smells so good..."

After saying that, her soft lips landed on Xu Ying's Adam's apple, and she even let out a few silly giggles after the kiss.

"hey-hey......"

Xu Ying shook his head. This girl is beyond help; she's seriously ill. One injection will cure her.

I don't know how much time passed.

Jing Tian lay on the bed with a flushed face, feeling utterly exhausted.

She doesn't want to say a word right now.

Xu Ying went to the balcony, smoked a cigarette, and began to think about some issues related to the movie.

Hmm, it's definitely not because of the "wise man" mode.

After calming down for a while, Jing Tian called out, "Senior brother, I want to take a shower, carry me~"

"You're here." Xu Ying walked in and picked Jing Tian up in his arms. "Don't move around, or you'll regret it."

Jing Tian rolled her eyes and didn't take it seriously, continuing to scratch with her little hands.

A moment later, she quickly withdrew her hand and said with an embarrassed smile, "Senior brother, it wasn't on purpose."

"Too late~"

"Hmph, bring it on then, who's afraid of who!"

After a while, he cried out, "Senior brother, spare me..."

......

The next day, both Xu Ying and Jing Tian were refreshed and in high spirits.

After breakfast, both of them were full.

Inside the meeting room, the film script was being read aloud.

"Hello, Senior Brother Zhang, I am Xu Ying." Xu Ying extended his hand and looked at Zhang Jiayi in front of him.

Zhang Jiayi was a student in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy in 87. Some of his classmates who are quite famous include Zhang Zijian, Liu Yijun, and Kong Lin.

Liu Yijun is a familiar face to many, while Zhang Zijian is the actor who plays Yan Shuangying.

"Director Xu, hello." Zhang Jiayi walked over with a smile, his walking posture was a little strange, which was caused by ankylosing spondylitis.

Many viewers were unaware of this and wondered why the character played by Zhang Jiayi had some difficulty walking.

Zhang Jiayi's personality is similar to the middle-aged men he often plays, but also somewhat different.

In real life, he is more humorous and also very dedicated.

Zhang Jiayi joked with a smile, "Director Xu, I'm really working for you this time."

Xu Ying led Zhang Jiayi to sit down.

"Don't be shy, senior. I'm just trying it out. Thank you for your consideration."

Zhang Jiayi's appearance this time was actually a guest appearance, and his salary was not as high as they had initially estimated.

After learning that most of the director and actors were students from the Beijing Film Academy, he immediately agreed.
