Chapter 172 My Son Won't Eat, But I Will! (Please Subscribe!)
"Hmm, this one is fine."

In the post-production editing room of Dongfang Company, Chen Fusheng watched the several takes of the final scenes filmed yesterday while he was away and confirmed that one of them was still usable.

This means he doesn't need to reshoot.

So Chen Kaige and Peng Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and the others clapped and celebrated.

It seems that yesterday's wrap-up wasn't the real wrap-up; now it is.

"Okay, thank you all for your hard work these past few days..."

After everyone celebrated, Chen Fusheng also added a director's closing remarks.

Then, looking at Diane Abbott, he said:

“Miss Diane has finished filming now, so she can stay in China for a few more days before going back.”

"I've already been to your Forbidden City. I'll come back to climb your Great Wall next time I have the chance. And... thank you so much, Chen, for letting me star in your movie. It's very interesting. I wonder if I'll be able to see it in American theaters someday?"

"Sure, Miss Diane. Once the film is finished in post-production, I should be able to bring it to the United States for release. I'll contact you then."

"Really? That's great, I can't wait..."

After leaving the editing room, Chen Fusheng returned to his office and handled some important work. Before noon, he planned to leave work.

Just as he stood up, someone rushed in, knocking on the door.

"Congratulations, Xiao Chen! I heard Xiao Li gave birth to a son for you this time, right? Now you have both a son and a daughter."

"Thank you, thank you. Sister Ling, please have some wedding candy."

Before coming to the company, Chen Fusheng bought two bags of wedding candy to distribute, and he had already given them all away. Luckily, he still had some left in his pocket, so he took them out and handed them to Lingzi.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony and will share in the joy."

Lingzi peeled a piece of wedding candy and put it in her mouth, then began to report her work to Chen Fusheng.

“When Director Liao visited the company last time, the organization has already resolved all three of our requests.”

"Tell me more specifically."

"This time, the August First Film Studio cooperated with us on filming, and the tanks and helicopters they provided were the most advanced in the military..."

"What about the cost?"

"As long as we pay 20."

"The government is still the most reliable, but 20 is too little. What was our budget for weapons and training before?"

"30 to 50."

"Then I'll give you 50."

Ling Zi paused for a moment, then didn't dwell on the issue. After simply saying "okay," she continued her report:
"As for the location, the investment bank provided their headquarters building for us to film this time. The rental period is four months, and the rental fee is 40 yuan. If there is any damage during the filming, it will be calculated separately."

Chen Fusheng nodded. He could accept the rental fee of 40 yuan, but the key was that the venue had to be suitable.

Have you visited the site in person? What's the environment like?

"I took some photos, you can take a look first."

As she spoke, Lingzi took out a stack of photos from her bag.

Chen Fusheng reached out and took them, then looked at them one by one and nodded, saying, "They're alright, they barely meet the requirements."

"This is the best one I chose after comparing the headquarters buildings of several other banks."

Lingzi continued, "When do you plan to film it?"

Chen Fusheng thought for a moment and then told Lingzi about his plan.

"By the end of next month or the beginning of June, I will be taking 'The Man from Earth' to the United States for release. I will also be looking for some American actors for 'Die Hard' and checking out the quotes from American special effects companies. I will be back in China by the end of June at the latest. If your preparations go smoothly, I think we can start filming in early July."

After listening and considering for a few seconds, Lingzi said, "It's almost April now, and there are only three months left for preparation. Time is still very tight. I feel we can start assembling the crew now."

"No problem, I've already finished filming here. You can call Zhang Yimou and the others over to help." "Okay."

Ling Zi nodded slightly, then asked, "What do you think of these people?"

"Chen Kaige is a bit arrogant, but after all, he is the son of director Chen Huaikai. He has been in the directing industry since childhood and has a good foundation. Peng Xiaolian is more meticulous... Zhang Yimou, on the other hand, has a very good sense of the camera and can be used as a professional cinematographer."

After a pause, Chen Fusheng added, "I won't comment on Zhang Jianya and the others who are in Lao Han's film crew."

"I remember Lao Han's movie hasn't even started filming yet, right? Or have I just been too busy lately and overlooked it?" Lingzi said uncertainly.

"If you remember correctly, he hasn't turned his phone on yet, I don't know what he's up to," Chen Fusheng complained.

"Haha, I guess the actor playing Hachiko isn't very obedient and hasn't been properly trained yet," Lingzi chuckled.

Chen Fusheng felt the same way, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's ignore him. Sister Ling, do you have anything else to do?"

"What's wrong? Are you busy?"

"I was planning to leave work. My wife just gave birth yesterday. If I wasn't worried about the final scene I filmed yesterday without my presence, I wouldn't have come to the company today," Chen Fusheng said.

And he said it with complete confidence.

Lingzi opened her mouth, but couldn't really refute it.

I simply stood up.

"Alright, I'm fine now, I won't bother you when you go home to be with your wife and kids."

As Lingzi walked out, she said, "After I'm done with this busy period, I'll go visit your son... By the way, what's his name?"

"Chen Guo, the fruit of fruit."

"Chen Qian and Chen Guo, both names sound quite nice. I guess her nickname might be Guo Guo?"

"Yes……"

After seeing Lingzi out of the office, Chen Fusheng followed her downstairs.

……

Liu Xiaoli was breastfeeding her baby when someone suddenly pushed the door open and she instinctively turned to the side. The next second, after seeing that it was her husband, she turned back.

"You're really back so early!" she exclaimed, somewhat surprised.

"Of course! Honey, have you eaten? I saw them eating, but you weren't here, so I came in to check on you."

"Here!"

Liu Xiaoli gestured for her husband to look at the bedside table, where they saw several bowls of unfinished postpartum meals.

Chen Fusheng withdrew his gaze and turned it back to his son in his wife's arms, asking, "Is this kid obedient?"

He had just finished speaking when the little guy, who was eating, suddenly choked on his milk. Fortunately, Liu Xiaoli was no longer a new mother and had experience, so she quickly lifted his head up, and her son only coughed twice before he was fine.

However, when Liu Xiaoli tried to continue breastfeeding, she found that the little one refused to eat.

She was still angry, but she glared at her husband anyway.

At this moment, Chen Fusheng felt somewhat wronged and pointed at the little guy, saying, "Is it possible that he's full?"

Liu Xiaoli looked at her son, and it seemed to be true.

“But I still have a lot of breast milk, go and bring our daughter in.”

"She's already been weaned, why are you still letting her breastfeed..."

"Then you eat it."

"I'll eat it, then I'll eat it."

Liu Xiaoli: "..."
