Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

5 month 1 day.

Labor Day.

Labor Day is for working!

Ye Chong's long-awaited Zhanmei heavy-duty remote control arm has arrived, and the final scene at Xishan Bridge is ready!

That evening at six o'clock, the crew began preparations early.

The prime time for shooting is from 7 to 10, but those three hours are actually a bit tight because there are too many shots!

On the second floor of Xishan Bridge, Ye Chong was gathering several producers to discuss matters. The group sat on plastic chairs, with several account books placed on a square stool in the middle.

"How much is the daily rental fee for that machine?"

"Six thousand."

"Ten days?"

"fifty thousand!"

Ye Chong looked at Chen Zhixi, who had just finished filming: "How many days is our schedule?"

"Eight days!"

He nodded, silently calculating in his mind.

"Eight days won't do. Eight days would cost 48,000 yuan. We might as well rent it for ten days and film at our own pace!"

"What do you want?"

At this point, the only option left is to discuss and decide on a direction on the spot.

The schedule is the schedule, but this is Ye Chong's first time organizing so many people. He needs to practice everything, including the positioning, lighting, and camera setup!

Even after learning the director's long take techniques, he wasn't confident he could finish filming in one take.

Renting for ten days directly is not an option, because the crew's expenses include not only equipment, but also film reel, catering, and many other items.

After a long while, Ye Chong took a deep breath.

"Let's push it back by an hour, even if it's a bit tiring."

"But we applied to the Propaganda Committee for three hours."

"Hiss—" Ye Chong closed his eyes tightly and raised his hand to rub his temples.

That wasn't the end of it; Chen Zhixi was still adding insult to injury.

"Besides, the Transportation Commission is easy to deal with; they can send someone over to coordinate at any time. At worst, you just have to offer a little more bribe. But what about the power company? Their application process takes three days."

"No, stop talking."

Ye Chong let out a long breath.

The four producers on set were all watching him intently, which put him under immense pressure.

Looks like I'll have to use up some acting skills!

"Three hours, just three hours, I believe we can do it!"

"real?"

"real!"

"Another secret weapon?"

"right!"

Ye Chong reached into his pocket, pulled out the Xuanhe Gate, and glanced at Chen Zhixi, who indeed reached out his hand.

"Click—"

He lit one for his own baby first, then handed one to each of the other three producers before taking a deep drag on his cigarette.

"Do you remember when I would sometimes give you actors some acting instructions before filming started?"

Chen Zhixi flicked the ash from his cigarette, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"I've taught myself psychology, and every time I encourage you, it helps you perform a little better and improve your acting skills."

Chen Zhixi's brow twitched.

Can encouragement improve acting skills, and does it always work?

This is absolutely unbelievable!

But she has experienced it firsthand and it does feel smoother to act.

"I've named this: Stock Market Path! Encouraging Stocks!"

"puff--"

Ye Chong glanced at Lin Qiang, who had burst out laughing, and the latter immediately lowered his head.

This young producer, who has just signed with Feiye, still needs to work on his composure!

"Hmm...hmm." Producer Lan murmured a few times, the meaning of which was unclear.

Look, look, this is the difference in character. Didn't you see that Producer Lan not only didn't laugh, but also nodded in deep agreement?

"Hehehe... First there was a shuffle road, now there's a drum road?"

"You're kidding me, hahaha!"

"President Ye!"

Behind them, Tu Da ran upstairs, carrying a walkie-talkie with a light on.

He glanced at the five people in front of the monitor, slowly walked over to Ye Chong and whispered something in his ear, then looked up at Chen Zhixi.

"Producer Chen, several leaders from the Publicity Committee and the Transportation Committee have arrived."

"Okay, I got it."

The producers stubbed out their cigarettes, stood up, straightened their clothes, and got down to business.

As for Ye Chong?

He first took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket, chewed it a few times, and then raised his hand to cover his mouth, repeatedly exhaling air into it.

Finally, he tugged at his sweater, got up, and walked towards the end of the bridge.

Ten minutes later.

"Wow, the night view here is so beautiful!"

Yifei gripped the railing with both hands, leaned her upper body over it, and looked into the distance, her phoenix eyes brimming with surprise and delight.

This girl just finished filming, and as soon as she did, she came to Ye Chong's film crew. I have to say, Director Ye is very satisfied and pleased.

On the Xishan Bridge, the warm yellow light shines down, making the ancient bridge even more beautiful. On the first floor of the bridge, the film crew moves back and forth, setting up some vendors and a stage.

The aroma of food wafted up, and Yifei's little eyes lit up.

"They actually made real snacks?"

"What else?"

Ye Chong leaned on the railing and watched her, beginning to examine her outfit for the day.

Today, Sisi wore a white sweatshirt on top, revealing her fair neck and collarbone, and a pair of light-wash denim jeans on the bottom.

The cowboy leggings hugged her long, straight legs tightly; calling them "chopstick legs" wouldn't be entirely accurate, but her firm thighs and slender calves were still captivating.

Finally, there are those two full petals, curving upwards in an exaggerated arc.

So perky and so tight!

Ye Chong slightly curled the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself that the scenery before him was neither pleasant nor beautiful enough to complement a beautiful woman.

The food looks so tempting!

"Watch out for the pole, don't fall."

"brush--"

Yifei suddenly turned her head and glared at him.

"What's wrong?"

"What did you just say?"

A blush quietly appeared on both sides of Yifei's nose.

It's pink and I want to eat it.

"What do you want to eat!"

Yifei was even more embarrassed and annoyed!

Not only did he harass her, but he also showed no remorse. He wants to eat her? Dream on!

"What? Did I say anything?"

"Old man, your willpower is waning!"

"What the heck?!"

"You!" Yifei raised her little fist, as if to hit her.

At this moment, Liu's mother glanced over from a distance and saw Qianqian's actions, so she quickly came to the two of them in a few steps.

"What's wrong?"

"Aunt Liu, it's nothing, Qianqian and I were just playing around."

Liu's mother glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and led Qianqian to the center of the second floor.

"Watch your posture, you're not afraid of falling and getting hurt!"

"Be careful of what?"

"Watch out for the pole!"

Yifei turned her head and glanced at the railing, a look of understanding appearing in her eyes.

She stuck out her little tongue, glanced at Ye Chong out of the corner of her eye, and only straightened up when she saw him go about his business.

"What are you doing? Why are you acting so strangely?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Half an hour later, two more people appeared in front of the monitor.

One is a certain Qian watching the show, and the other is Liu's mother watching Qian.

"Sizzle—"

"All departments, get ready. The first rehearsal is about to begin. The cameras won't be on, but you all need to be alert! Pay extra attention to the extras, Tu Da."

"Tsk—Roger that, boss!"

"Pfft—"

Ye Chong glanced to the side and saw Yi Fei covering her mouth and staring at him. She blinked her small eyes rapidly and didn't say anything.

Ye Chong rolled his eyes.

Does this girl have such a low threshold for laughter?

What's wrong with calling me boss? I am the boss!

"Ready—Go!"

At Ye Chong's command, the entire Xishan Bridge came to life. People moved around according to their positions, and actors began their performances according to their designated roles...

Ye Chong finally called a halt to the filming at 10 p.m., ending the first day of shooting.

Although only a few shots were filmed, it was still ahead of schedule.

The acting card's effectiveness far exceeded Ye Chong's expectations.

It's 11 p.m.

Ye Chong dragged his tired body to open the door, and as soon as he entered the living room, he slapped his forehead.

"Oh no, I forgot to give Sisi a cameo role in the script."

"Hmm...should we call her up now?"

He lowered his head and pondered.

Sisi lives on the fourth floor, so it's very convenient for her to come up. Besides, this is a serious matter, so Liu's mother can't say anything.

As for the deception... what to talk about after calling them up, that depends on the situation...

Without hesitation, Ye Chong took out his phone and sent a text message.

"Sissi, come upstairs and get your script. I'll wait for you in your room. No, no, this has become a habit! I'll wait for you at the door!"

"OK—Send!"

"Knock knock—"

Just as I sent it, there was a knock on the door.

"So fast? That can't be right, Chen Zhixi?"

"Click—"

As soon as I opened the door, a hot body rushed into my arms.

"Who are you--"
