Huayu: Enjoy Yourself

Chapter 85 Chen An "???"

Filming, which lasted for over a month, has officially come to an end. ✌👣 69ˢ𝓗Ǘ𝓧.ᶜᗝΜ 💛🍭

Jack's final performance was better than Chen An had expected.

However, I seriously doubt that he was acting.

Chen An thought it was good that he hadn't told him, as he had deliberately saved this performance for last.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have hit the car, he would have hit me.

"Is Jack ready? Waiting for an Oscar nomination next year?" Chen An said with a smile. Although the chances were slim, it didn't hurt to talk about it.

"Director, you're joking, but this performance was really enjoyable for me!" Jack didn't take it seriously and instead remarked on his experience of the performance.

Chen An thought to himself, "This is bad. You're not going to go down the method acting route, are you? If so, then 'Brokeback Mountain' will be a real pain."

"Jack, you're still young, you have many opportunities to learn. Keep learning, you're very talented."

In the end, I decided to try and persuade them, otherwise things would get funny.

Jack nodded: "Thank you for the compliment, Director, but I'm very grateful for this opportunity."

Although he didn't know if the other person had listened, Chen An didn't say anything more.

In his past life, this kid promised his dad that he would go to university before making movies, but he dropped out after two years.

It embodies the spirit of America: freedom and democracy.

Now that filming had wrapped, the crew found a place in the area for a get-together.

Although it wasn't luxurious, everyone was happy. The work was over, and it was time to have some fun.

However, Jerry didn't come; he had already gone back with his treasured film to complete the post-production work.

Chen An can also participate, but there's no rush, and he doesn't need to be involved throughout the entire process.

There are professional post-production staff, a Hollywood system, and the music and other materials were already prepared beforehand.

"Chen, I wish you success this time too." Naomi said, holding a glass of champagne, as she walked up to Chen An.

Filming has ended, so there's no need to refer to Chen An as the director anymore.

She was still wearing her costume from the film crew, and her simple attire couldn't hide her beauty.

Instead, it possesses a unique mature charm.

Chen An raised his glass with the other person, and they both took a sip.

The film crew rented an open-air set and set up many deck chairs.

The two found two seats together. Chen An held a glass of wine and a freshly grilled skewer, and comfortably lay back in the chair.

"Chen, I've seen all your previous movies," Naomi, who was serving drinks, turned and leaned over to Chen An.

Chen An took a bite of the huge roasted meat. "How is it? Do you like it?"

"I like them all, especially the female leads. They're all very beautiful and have your style, Chen." Naomi said meaningfully.

Chen An "."

Damn it! Where did you watch that?! I'm asking you where you watched it?!

And something sounds a bit strange, like Yu Jinghong has suddenly descended upon us.

Pah! What nonsense are you spouting?

Turning his head, he saw that Naomi's face showed no abnormality, still with a slight smile, as she propped her chin up and looked at Chen An.

"I wish I could make such excellent films too." Naomi said quietly, taking a sip of her drink and lying on the deck chair, gazing at the starry sky.

"I think I'll have a chance, but I haven't finished writing the script yet." Chen An naturally understood what the other person meant.

Hmph, women, all they care about is their own movies, what a bunch of idiots.

Can't you recognize your own excellence through movies? Being an excellent man is exhausting; you have to be thought about every day.

Naomi, pleased to receive a reply, said happily, "Then it's a deal."

"I will always do what I promise." Chen An has always been like this; keeping his word is his code of conduct.

The two of them lay on the chairs, gazing at the night sky, lying there quietly.

The party ended around 10 p.m., and everyone returned to their hotel.

I'll start packing up my equipment and heading back tomorrow.

After entering the hotel, Chen An washed up, took a shower, and then lay back on the bed for a good rest.

But then there was a knock on the door.

Chen An, who didn't really want to get out of bed, reluctantly got up when there was another knock on the door, complaining inwardly, "Who's knocking on the door so late at night? I don't need to sleep. Damn it!"

Why are you wearing Zeng Li's clothes!

When Chen An opened the door, he saw an unbelievable scene: Naomi at the door had changed into Zeng Li's "My Sassy Girl" look!

Her hair was loose, she was wearing that long dress, and she was carrying a matching bag. She raised her left arm and rested her elbow on the door frame, while her right hand combed her hair back.

"Nao." Chen An hadn't finished speaking.

Naomi shoved him into the room, and then slammed the door shut with a loud "bang!"

Chen An: "???"

Naomi: "Shut up!"

After a long day of hard work, Chen An was exhausted again, and spent another long night working hard.

Even a body made of iron can't withstand it.

Naomi left gracefully early in the morning, and Chen An finally fell asleep, not even wanting to take a shower.

It wasn't until midday that the incessant knocking at the door finally woke Chen An from his deep sleep.

Chen An opened the door in a daze and looked around to find no one there. Was he starting to hallucinate?

"Hey, I'm here!" A familiar voice came from below.

Chen An looked down and saw that it was his little radish-headed daughter, Emma, ​​knocking on his door. No wonder he didn't see anyone when he opened the door; he thought he had encountered a ghost.

"What is it? You better have something to say, or you'll be crying to your mother when you get home."

"I came to bring you lunch, Uncle Director, you're so rude, you didn't even thank me."

Only then did Chen An notice that the little radish was holding a bag, her right hand raised, and her left hand seemingly angrily on her hip.

"Thank you, you can go now." Chen An, seemingly unconcerned, patted her head, took the bag from her hand, and thanked her.

After saying that, he planned to turn around, close the door, finish eating, and continue sleeping.

But little Emma grabbed her, saying, "Don't close the door! You haven't thanked me yet!"

"Didn't I already say thank you?"

"You should give me the fried chicken nuggets inside as a thank you."

"The true intentions are revealed at the end of the journey. Your map is far too short," Chen An couldn't help but complain in his mind.

"Here you go, come in and eat, eat quickly." Chen An, who hadn't closed the door, stood aside and made way for the little girl to come in.

"Hmph hmph hmph~" Little Emma skipped into the room with cheerful steps.

Then Chen An opened the bag, took out the lunch inside, picked out the fried chicken pieces, and stuffed them in front of the other person.

Chen An picked up a hamburger, took a bite, and looked at Emma, ​​who was excitedly eating fried chicken nuggets in front of him. "You should eat less. It's not good for children to eat too much."

"Of course I know, it's just so delicious. Uncle Director, don't make it like my mom."

"Call me brother!"

Chen An couldn't help but pinch the other person's chubby little face again. How many times have I told him?

But this time, little Emma didn't care about any of that and continued to munch on the fried chicken nuggets, quickly finishing off a whole box of them.

After finishing his meal, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands and face to destroy evidence, and then left without looking back.

After finishing his meal, Chen An stuffed all the trash into the trash can, then took a shower, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep again shortly afterward.

The crew left the final filming location three days later.

The filming crew, who had been working together for over a month, broke up the moment they returned to Los Angeles.

The actors' contracts have been completed for the time being, and they are just waiting for the film's release and promotion.

Before Chen An knew it, more than two months had passed since he arrived in this foreign land.

I arrived in this City of Angels in early December 1998, and now it is already February 1999.

His first Hollywood film has just been officially completed.

It is estimated that the post-production process will also take some time, although Chen An will not be involved in the entire process.

However, it will take some time.

Only then can they return to China, and then come back again when the film is being promoted and released.

"I'm back again," Chen An murmured to himself, looking at the room in front of him.

Upon returning to Los Angeles, Chen An checked into the same hotel again, and coincidentally, he ended up in the same room.

However, the wine has been replaced with a new batch, enough to drink for a while longer.

Chen An's drinking capacity increased dramatically after arriving here, which can be considered a way to relieve his worries.

After skillfully pouring himself a drink and adding ice, Chen An sat back down by the window, where he often sat, took a sip, and said, "It's 1999. Next year will be 2000."
