Huayu02 started by making films.

Wu Jun waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, compared to Faye Wong's loose tongue, I prefer Ti Lung's style! Tell me, how do you want me to cooperate with you in making a movie?"

Han Yi called Da Gao and Jiang Wu over, pointed to the sea and said to the three of them, "Boss Wu, I'll wave you over in a bit. Just follow Da Gao's instructions and slowly sail towards the shore. Once we're ashore, get off the boat and help Jiang Wu carry the coffin onto it."

"Wow, what a big star!" Wu Jun was surprised to see Jiang Wu. He looked around and saw Jiang Wen there too, and was even happier. He quickly went up to greet him.

After another round of lively greetings, Han Yi reminded him, "Boss Wu, your outfit... might need to be changed, after all, it doesn't quite match the vibe of my movie."

"No problem!" Wu Jun readily agreed.

Han Yi then instructed Da Gao separately: "When you see me waving, after you remind Boss Wu, lie down in the cabin and don't let the camera film you."

Da Gao nodded: "Understood, Director Han."

Seeing that everyone was ready, Han Yi waved vigorously towards the small boat. Du Zhe slowly pushed the camera forward, first showing a wide shot, then a close-up.

Amidst the roar of the engine, Wu Jun steered the small boat toward the dock. He stopped the boat, tied the rope, disembarked, and together with Wu Bai (played by Jiang Wu), carried the coffin onto the boat.

The camera zooms in, giving a close-up of the coffin, hinting at what's inside. Wu Bai, on the boat, calls out to Wu Tian (Jiang Wen) on the shore, "Wu Tian, ​​we're about to set sail. Let's go, brother."

Seeing that Wu Tian didn't react, Wu Bai got off the boat and grabbed his hand: "Wu Tian, ​​come on, let's go."

As the two reached the edge of the boat, Wu Tian suddenly released his grip: "Wu Bai, I'm starting to remember now... Is he finally dead?"

Wu Bai nodded.

"Okay!" Wu Tian replied happily.

The camera zooms out to record the two boarding the boat; then it zooms in again to capture the green tangerine that Wu Tian had taken a bite out of by the dock.

One last shot: the two brothers sit down on the boat. Han Yi directs Wu Jun to secure the boat, and Du Zhe sets up the camera.

"Scene 2, Shot 3—Action!"

Wu Tian is facing away from the camera, only his side profile is visible; Wu Bai is facing the camera, sitting in the boat with his hands hanging down.

Du Zhe then zoomed in on Wu Tian. Wu Tian (played by Jiang Wen) began clapping and humming a rhyme he had made up: "Mom abandoned me and my brother... because she couldn't stand Dad..."

As the singing grew louder, Wu Tian stood up, spread his arms, and jumped and danced on the boat, still humming, "Dad first asked me... then my brother asked me..."

Worried that his younger brother might fall into the water, Wu Bai reached out and patted him. Wu Tian held onto the steel frame of the boat roof for a while, then sat back down next to his brother. The two brothers looked at each other and hugged tightly.

"Click!"

Han Yi shouted. One by one, everyone disembarked and returned to the roadside by the dock.

He glanced at his phone; it was 5:30 PM. Then he clapped his hands: "Alright, that's all for today. Tomorrow morning at 8:00, same place, we'll shoot one more scene. If everything's okay, then we're done filming."

"yeah!"

Amidst laughter, the day's work came to a close.

At 10:00 AM the following morning, beside the abandoned docks of Tianjin Port, Han Yi slammed the rolled-up script down: "I hereby declare that 'I'm glad you're dead now' is officially wrapped! A wrap party at a seafood restaurant at noon—everyone must be there!!!"

"Yay!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

"Director Han is awesome!"

"Yi-ge, I love you!"

"That's... all? Is making a movie that easy?" Wu Jun scratched his head, looking confused.

"This film is definitely going to win awards, it's awesome!" Jiang Wen praised without reservation.

"Our Beijing Film Academy's Department of Literature is about to produce another great director." Jiang Wu sighed, his tone full of emotion.

At 11:30 a.m., in a private room of a seafood restaurant near Tianjin Port, Han Yi was drinking and eating with a group of people, clinking glasses and having a great time.

Du Zhe, holding a glass of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), walked up to Han Yi with Da Gao and Xiao Zhao to offer a toast: "Brother Yi, thank you for giving me the opportunity to carry the camera. I'll drink this in one gulp, you can drink as you like!" He then tilted his head back and drank it all in one go.

Xiao Zhao followed closely behind: "Director Han, thank you for taking care of me, a student from the photography academy. I'll drink this first!"

Da Gao, who was lagging behind, glanced at the two of them and managed to squeeze out, "Director Han, me too!"

Han Yi laughed and clinked glasses with each of the three men, saying, "Why are you saying all this? We're all brothers!"

Then Chen Chen pulled Zhao Ke over and raised her glass: "Director Han, thank you for letting me be a makeup artist on set."

"Director Han, if you start a new film, don't forget about me, this little lady!" Zhao Ke said with a smile.

Han Yi looked at the wheat juice in their glasses and laughed, "It's all the same, let's learn from each other. You two drink less, Chenchen will pay the bill for me later, I reckon I'll be throwing up."

Chen Chen patted the heavy pomelo and readily agreed, "Leave it to me, Director Han!"

Zhao Ke, who was standing next to Chen Chen, put his arm around her and teased her with a smile: "Not only can my Chenchen handle the bill, she can also warm the bed~" She then winked playfully.

"Hey! You little brat, Ake!"

The two women playfully ran off to the side. Han Yi turned around, filled his glass with baijiu (Chinese liquor), and walked straight to Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu: "Senior brothers, Senior Brother Jiang Wen, thank you so much for your support. If the film gets nominated, I'll make up for your lost pay. I... I don't know what to say, anyway, it's all in the liquor!"

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu also raised their glasses and drank. The good-natured Jiang Wu chuckled and said, "Let's not talk about the pay. Xiao Yi, you're a good prospect. At first, when Lao Dai told me, I didn't quite believe it. But after spending these past few days with you, I've found you're much more reliable than those guys from the directing department. Work hard, and when you become famous and get more roles, take me with you!"

"Then...that's a must!" Han Yi's words were already somewhat incoherent.

Jiang Wen chimed in, "If I ever make a movie, you can come help me with the storyboards. Forget about the pay! Come on, let's drink!"

The three men clinked glasses and chatted. Han Yi suddenly asked, "Senior, I'd like to set up a personal studio for film production and tax purposes. But the registered capital requirement is too high. Do you have any ideas?"

Jiang Wen pondered for a moment: "That's simple. Apart from funding, you just need to find a famous director or actor to endorse it."

Jiang Wu chimed in, "To put it bluntly, you have to prove that you're worth more than three million. Like Zhang Yimou, Kai Ge, or a popular celebrity. Who's been the hottest person these past two years, bro?" He posed the question to Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen shook his head: "Don't ask me, I don't pay attention to celebrities, I only look at actors."

Han Yi's eyes cleared instantly; he had almost forgotten about that. He casually replied, "Isn't F4 the hottest thing right now? I heard they're going to be banned?"

Upon hearing the word "banned," Jiang Wen immediately perked up: "What's going on? Who are F4? Did they also make a banned film?"

Jiang Wu laughed from the side, "F4 is an idol group from Taiwan. I told you to watch Hunan TV more often, but you didn't."

"What's this stuff for women to watch? What am I, a grown man, going to watch?" Jiang Wen waved his hands repeatedly.

The meal ended amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.

At 11 p.m., Han Yi woke up thirsty in his hotel bed. He propped himself up on the bed with one hand and held his forehead with the other.
