Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the filming went very smoothly these past few days.

However, on the afternoon of April 20th, Xu Heng suddenly received a notice that the school would be completely closed.

Fortunately, filming can continue during the lockdown as long as students stay at the school, so the impact is not significant.

Since many students have taken leave to go home, filming will be more convenient.

Liu Yifei was dumbfounded, because she was going home that night and didn't live at school!

"Then what should I do?"

Liu Yifei looked at Xu Heng, clearly somewhat anxious.

She knew this movie was very important to Xu Heng and definitely didn't want filming to be delayed because of her!

Besides, even if it weren't Xu Heng's movie, she still didn't want it to have any impact because of her!

"The school has a guesthouse. Talk to your mom and ask her to stay there for a while, like she's joining a film crew. I don't think the lockdown will last too long!"

Xu Heng said calmly.

Since he knew the school would be closed, he must have already thought about how to deal with it.

There's a guesthouse inside the school, and nowadays, no one would ever visit the school.

The school has agreed, and he will pay the room fee.

He knew that Liu Xiaoli would definitely not feel comfortable letting Liu Yifei live alone at school, especially given the current situation.

"Okay, I'll make the call right away!"

Liu Yifei also thought this method was good, and without hesitation, she immediately took out her phone to call her mother.

Liu Xiaoli was initially worried when she heard the news, but after listening to her daughter's explanation, she decided to agree.

She knew her daughter's personality very well; even if she disagreed, it wouldn't matter!

Liu Xiaoli arrived in the evening, bringing quite a few things with her.

At night, Liu Yifei stayed at the school's guesthouse with her mother.

During the subsequent filming, Liu Xiaoli once again stayed by her daughter's side throughout the entire process.

There are also various protective measures that are essential for both schools and film crews.

Just like that, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On the last day of May, after filming the last scene, Xu Heng announced to the entire crew that filming for "Our Times" had officially wrapped.

从3月21号开机到5月31号杀青，一共用了72天，也就是差不多两个半月！

A burst of cheers and applause immediately erupted at the scene.

Unfortunately, the Beijing Film Studio was still closed at the time, and even the wrap party could not be held.

However, Xu Heng had previously announced that he would directly distribute the money from the wrap party to everyone in cash.

They also announced that the pay for all actors and crew members would be doubled, as a subsidy for filming during the lockdown!

He then announced the disbandment of the crew, but those who needed to participate in the film's post-production would definitely stay, and many people showed regret on their faces.

For these students from the Beijing Film Academy, this filming process was definitely a very good and important experience, and everyone got along very well.

Now that the movie is finished, it's normal to feel a little reluctant to see it end.

However, what they regret and are most reluctant to do is that from now on, they will have to pay for their own meals!

You should know that the food on the film crew has always been quite good, even during the school lockdown!

Not to mention that Xu Heng, as the director, was also very generous with the payouts!

……

Although filming has wrapped, there is still a lot of post-production work to be done.

Fortunately, this film was entirely recorded on location, eliminating the need for post-production dubbing, unlike the two TV series Xu Heng had previously filmed.

Nowadays, most TV dramas are dubbed in post-production, with some actors dubbing their own voices and others hiring professional voice actors.

Xu Heng did not dub either "The Story of a Noble Family" or "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" himself, nor did he have the time, and the same goes for Liu Yifei.

Then Xu Heng walked over to Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, who were standing to the side. Liu Yifei was obviously waiting to say goodbye to him.

Now that the movie is finished and the school has basically closed, there's definitely no need for her to stay at school, and her mother wouldn't agree to it either.

Moreover, she is now a popular celebrity, so she still has some activities to participate in, such as the promotional activities for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

Producer Zhang Jizhong's next project has been confirmed as the wuxia drama "The Return of the Condor Heroes" starring Jin Yong, and she really wants to try for the role of Xiaolongnu!

"Xu Heng, I'm going home!"

Seeing Xu Heng walking over, Liu Yifei smiled and said, "This is the third time we've said goodbye."

The two TV series and one movie she has acted in since her debut have all been with Xu Heng!

But this time, when Liu Yifei parted ways with Xu Heng, her eyes clearly held a complex expression...

"Okay, see you when school resumes normally!"

Xu Heng nodded.

Next, he will continue to complete the post-production of the film at the Beijing Film Academy, so he will not have time to participate in the promotional activities for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", at least not for the time being.

According to the contract, he only needs to cooperate with the promotion for a period of time before the show airs, and it is not mandatory.

The TV series "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is still in the later stages of production and is far from being officially broadcast.

In addition, the ratings for "The Story of a Noble Family" have been reported, with a national average rating of 8.8%, which is more than one percentage point higher than the original rating of 7.68% given by the system. It is also the highest-rated TV series on CCTV-8 in the past two years.

Earlier this month, it was broadcast twice on more than a dozen provincial TV stations, and also rebroadcast on CCTV-1.

Although CCTV-1 broadcasts the program in the afternoon, this situation is still very rare.

"Okay, see you then."

Liu Yifei nodded as well.

After a pause, he added, "I'll try my best to sing that song well!"

She thought Xu Heng was bragging when he said he could write songs.

Later, when she saw that Xu Heng's future self was set as a big star, or even a famous singer, in the script, she teased Xu Heng again.

The last time she saw Xu Heng writing songs on set, he filled an entire page, but she didn't think he could write any good songs.

Not to mention, as Xu Heng said, writing two songs of similar quality to "Dark Fragrance".

It's worth noting that this song, "Dark Fragrance," is incredibly popular right now.

Furthermore, on the 1st of this month, Sha Baoliang released his second solo album, which included the song "Dark Fragrance," and its sales have already exceeded 15 copies in just one month.

For a singer who wasn't very famous before, achieving such sales figures is already quite impressive, and it's clearly due to the song "Dark Fragrance".

After filming yesterday, Xu Heng gave her an MP3 player containing only one song, which was the theme song for the movie "Our Times," composed by Xu Heng himself.

She will also be singing this song, so she needs to learn it and record it officially after the school lockdown ends.

Last night, when I returned to the guesthouse room with my mother, she immediately put on her headphones and listened to this song.

They discovered that the songs in the MP3 were sung by Xu Heng himself, and that Xu Heng's singing skills were actually quite good.

Of course, Xu Heng's song was even better, and she liked it immediately!
