This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 128 Big Appetite

In terms of the actual filming, Night City is a highly developed futuristic metropolis, and the cost of producing it entirely with CGI special effects would be enormous.

So Chen Yuan decided to create a fake Night City using a miniature model. The complete map of Night City was in his mind, and with the [Face-to-Face Transmission] sharing, the creation process wasn't too difficult.

The shooting mode combines reality and illusion. The city is used to shoot models and special effects in the medium and long shots, and the scene of the environment is built up for close-up shots.

"The Edge Walker" required extensive set construction, and these scenes were filmed in China, where labor and materials were much cheaper than in the United States.

Outdoor scenes like street shootouts and high-speed car chases are filmed in major cities like New York and Tokyo.

The domestic economy is still underdeveloped, even in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, it doesn't quite capture the glitz and glamour of capitalism.

In fact, the mountain city that will be known as the 'cyber city' in the future is the most perfect filming location in Chen Yuan's mind, which can save a lot of money on set construction and special effects.

Unfortunately, this place is still very poor and has not been developed.

For more than a month, he was basically working day and night, running around every day. Chen Yuan was either meeting with the person in charge of the studio or talking to that master about creative concepts. It was really too exhausting to do this big project.

On February 1st, Chinese New Year, Chen Yuan's team in the United States were also busy working. In the evening, they had a dinner at a time-honored Chinese restaurant, but some of them were unable to return because they were in other cities.

But before the Lantern Festival, the preparations were finally mostly completed.

Chen Yuan finally managed to return to China with his exhausted friends to rest just before the end of the winter break.

Then came the formal project preparation phase.

Even though Chen Yuan had activated various enhancements to improve his physical fitness and vitality, he didn't want to say a word or think about anything on the plane back to China.

Suddenly, a message popped up on the system panel: "The audience satisfaction rating for 'Love Courtyard' has reached A level, and the rewards can be settled now."

No matter how tough or tiring it is, I can't miss the lucky draw!
Winter break is almost over, and it must be because a large number of students watched this show during the break that they accumulated an A-level level of satisfaction.

Lying on his economy class seat, Chen Yuan rubbed his ears, which were a little sore from the buzzing of the plane, and started smoking.

[System: Congratulations, host, for obtaining an A-level reward: the scripts for seasons 2-5 of "iPartment"]

The fatigue that Chen Yuan had accumulated from constantly arguing with the Americans vanished instantly. Goodness, is this a New Year's gift from the system?
Giving yourself so many seasons of "iPartment" all at once is like making a killing, no, it's like getting a script!
Even though he was sitting in a plane with a stable flight, Chen Yuan felt as if he were experiencing weightlessness, and his heart felt empty.

Sigh, thinking about it carefully, four TV series, and each one generating more buzz than the last, it shouldn't be something that an A-level reward could cover.

Giving so many scripts is barely acceptable!

At least the screenwriters at the company who were assigned to write the sequel can save their hair.

However, these scripts can only be used by extracting the jokes, punchlines, and rhythms; they can't be filmed directly from them.

Besides being heavily plagiarized from American dramas and lacking a sense of real life in Chinese society, Lin Wanyu only filmed the first season before leaving, and she didn't appear in the later episodes.

Without Lin Wanyu, what role would his girlfriend play?
After getting off the plane, I didn't go back to my old house in Chaoyang District. My residence there had already been exposed, and a group of paparazzi were always staking out it, which was very annoying.

Instead, they went directly to Chen Yuan's residence in the Xishan villa area.

The car had barely entered the yard when Binbin rushed out of the house, not even wearing a coat in this freezing weather.

Chen Yuan scooped up Binbin, who was walking quickly toward him, and rubbed his unshaven chin against her, saying, "Binbin, did you miss me?"

“I think about it every day.” Fan Binbin stroked the man’s beard with a pained expression. “Why don’t you take care of yourself when you’re out?” “I don’t have time for that. Besides, who would I be showing off to? Foreigners don’t know me.”

As soon as Chen Yuan stepped inside, he smelled the aroma of food, and his mouth watered uncontrollably. Changchang was busy in the open kitchen.

Chen Yuan had no time to marvel at Chang Chang's improved knife skills; he saw the system-generated task appear above her head for the first time!

[Mission Description: I learned how to cook so many dishes on set, I can't let them go to waste!]

[Mission Objective: Please have the host taste 100 different dishes prepared by the mission target and satisfy them.]

[Mission Reward: D-Rank [Big Appetite]]

[Big Stomach] Doubles stomach capacity and doubles digestive ability.

We're now used to A-level, S-level, and even SS-level rewards.

Chen Yuan couldn't bear to look at the D-level reward that he could get simply by eating 100 different dishes made by Changchang. Did he really need such a big appetite?

But since it was a task that he got by singing, and he couldn't speed-complete it, it was better than nothing!
Thinking about it carefully, it actually works. With more food and improved digestion, he is more likely to gain weight, and the [Body Editor] can be used more freely.

"Wow, my son Changchang has really become a chef for state banquets!"

Chen Yuan put Binbin down and quickly walked to the stove. He was deeply moved as he watched his younger sister, who was wearing a scarf and busy with the three pots on the stove.

If Changchang's mother could see how outstanding her daughter is, she would surely be gratified.

My younger sister showed off her cooking skills, undoubtedly to welcome me back. She was sweating profusely, and her little face was flushed.

"A state banquet is too extravagant. I just learned a few tricks from the chefs the film crew hired. Hey, don't move, go wash your hands first!"

"no problem!"

Chen Yuan pinched a large piece of sweet and sour pork from the plate that had just come out of the pot and put it in his mouth. It smelled sour, tasted sweet, was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a hint of saltiness. It seemed that this was no joke, and the girl had really been trained to be skilled!

Soon the three of them sat down together to eat, mainly Binbin and Changchang watching Chen Yuan eat and drink heartily.

"Bro, didn't you eat out? You look like you've been starving!"

While it's good to be recognized for one's cooking skills, isn't what my brother did a bit too much?
Chen Yuan, holding a braised pig's trotter, tore off a large piece of skin and complained:

"You don't know, the food sold in America is so oily and sweet, I've had enough! Next time I go there to film, I'll definitely bring a few chefs with me."

"There must be a restaurant that suits your taste, right?" Binbin asked with great concern.

"I'm just too busy with work to worry about eating well; as long as I'm full, that's fine."

After swallowing a mouthful of human-infused chicken soup, Chen Yuan let out a long sigh of relief. It felt so good!
"By the way, Changchang, what are you doing in the capital? 'The Legend of the Female Physician' shouldn't have finished filming yet, right?"

It's because you've been so busy with this big Hollywood project where the woman next to you is the lead actress that you haven't come to visit the set. It's been almost three months since we last saw each other!

Shu Chang muttered to herself, but said with a smile:

"After finishing filming in Hengdian, we'll take a few days off. Next, we'll film the scenes where Xu Wanzhen is exiled to Qiongzhou, which will be filmed on Hainan Island."
