So what if I work with celebrities?

In less than a week, Tang Chongsheng got out of bed with his own might and rode his motorcycle to the film set by himself.

His face was pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead after just a few steps; his weak body had not yet recovered.

"Where have you been this week?" Hu Huizhong asked, not very pleased.

"I only came back because of 'business' matters," Tang Chongsheng said softly.

"Why do you look so pale? You speak weakly and don't stand as straight as you used to."

Hu Huizhong suddenly remembered the bed scene the makeup artist had mentioned, and her face immediately fell, thinking that Tang Chongsheng was having an affair with some woman.

She couldn't possibly be completely unaware of Tang Chongsheng's involvement in gangs over the years; she just didn't care, since in Taiwan, the number of people involved in gangs was roughly the same as those who joined the Communist Party.

"Were you out fooling around with some random woman?"

Tang Chongsheng paused for a moment, lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickered, and then suddenly smiled: "You won't let me kiss you, but can't I kiss someone else?"

Hu Huizhong's face darkened instantly. She hadn't expected him to say such a thing in public, leaving her humiliated.

The makeup artist tactfully picked up her makeup bag and left, glancing at Tang Chongsheng as she went, thinking to herself, "Damn, aren't the female lead and the director a couple? Are young people these days playing these games?"

Not far away, Xu Zan was explaining shooting techniques to photographer Xu Diwen. He glanced at the IWC watch, which was a relic left by his father.

"Alright, leave the lights on in the bedroom, just the camera, Hu Huizhong and I. Everyone else, go outside!"

Seeing Hu Huizhong still chatting with Tang Chongsheng, he immediately shouted, "Stop chatting and hurry up and get to filming! I make tens of thousands of yuan a minute!"

In a small hotel room, Xu Zan sat on the bed, with Hu Huizhong on the other side. The photographer waited a while while the lighting technician adjusted the position of the light source.

"In a bit..."

"I know what to do!" Hu Huizhong interrupted him angrily.

Xu Zan was completely baffled, wondering what was wrong with this girl. But since she said she knew how to film it, he didn't say anything more. After all, the director of the crew was a person of status, so how could he possibly beg the actors?

"Director, ready!" The lighting technician set up the lights and left when the director didn't react. They were all seasoned veterans; the crew cleared the set, leaving only the female cameraman.

How could I not understand what the director was thinking?

Xu Zan took off his shirt, revealing his well-built physique with clearly defined muscles. His body was incredibly attractive, and coupled with his handsome appearance, which woman wouldn't be aroused by him?

Xu Diwen pretended to look at the camera, but with his other eye open, he carefully examined the director's physique.

Hu Huizhong had already applied blush, and when she saw Xu Zan's muscle definition, she felt both shy and wanted to take a few more glances.

She suddenly saw Tang Chongsheng standing at the door, glared at him, then stood up, walked to Xu Zan's position, straightened her legs, jumped up, and landed on him.

Xu Diwen assumed this was the director's instruction and immediately started filming.

Xu Zan was stunned. This was completely different from the script! Hu Huizhong lay on top of him, her eyes closed, as if she had been frozen in place by Sun Wukong's magic.

With no other option, he had to start performing a bed scene, embracing Hu Huizhong and rolling around in bed with the blanket naturally wrapped around his body. He supported himself on the bed with his hands, causing the blanket to slip down and revealing his strong back.

At this moment, the camera zoomed in, filming their profiles. Xu Zan slowly lowered his head, looking at Hu Huizhong, who was nervous and pursing her lips. As his head approached the other person, he blocked the camera.

"Card!"

Xu Zan turned her head and asked, "Sister Xu, is this alright?"

Hu Huizhong's tense heart relaxed, and she immediately got up and looked towards the door, but there was no one there. She had mixed feelings and wondered what Tang Chongsheng would think.

"Little sister! If you don't know how to take a picture next time, just ask. Don't pounce on me like a zombie and almost kill me!" Xu Zan shouted.

"Pah! You can't say anything nice. I let you hug me, you should be happy about it!" Hu Huizhong said, acting like a delinquent.

In the next scene, the female lead Qi Ying's first love is killed in a mudslide while escorting students home.

Xu Zan used visual illusion to make the motorcycle appear to crash into a mudslide, but in reality, the mudslide was simulated on a small wooden board.

He personally handled the cinematography for this scene, with Xu Diwen acting as his student, taking notes. This kind of special effects technique is unmatched in both Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In Asia, only Japan can do this. Their special effects technology started very early, and their most famous works include Godzilla, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider.

Of course, Hollywood is equally advanced; they made a film called "The Towering Inferno," which became a global blockbuster.

When they returned to the city after filming this scene, the crew members who stayed at the "female lead's house" all surrounded Hu Huizhong.

The little girl was crying loudly, and anyone who saw her looking so heartbroken couldn't help but want to comfort her.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Xu Zan took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

Hu Huizhong suddenly stood up, hugged him tightly, and strangled his neck with both hands, saying, "He doesn't want me anymore, he doesn't want me anymore!"

Xu Zan immediately understood what was going on, patted her on the back, and said, "Okay, I'll ask around for you after we finish filming." Then she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Get ready for this scene! The makeup artist is touching up her makeup; the mood is just right!"

Scene 326: Qi Ying learns the tragic news about the male lead!

Now, the seasoned veterans on set are whispering rumors: the female lead was caught cheating, and when she hugged the director and begged for forgiveness, Director Xu retaliated maliciously, tormenting the female lead and making her cry repeatedly.

"The New Wave films are truly New Wave; the director and actress are really playing dirty tricks, even filming a sex scene for her boyfriend to watch, practically cheating on her. Who could tolerate that?"

"Who can argue with that?"

"I heard the director didn't let that guy have sex, but it didn't last long. He's so young and already has premature ejaculation?"

"I heard about it too. Apparently, it involved a sudden mid-air sit-up. Could you have lasted that long?"

Amidst various rumors, filming wrapped smoothly. Xu Zan treated the crew to a full-service experience at a restaurant, karaoke bar, and hot spring that very day.

They spent all the remaining 30,000 yuan and even specially arranged a girl for Wang Chao and Ma Han. The two of them, adhering to the principle of "he who takes a bribe is bound to be obliged", were too embarrassed to go back and tell the sailors.

This can't be blamed on them, since gangsters at that time were largely unaware of the unspoken rules of film production. Various groups were squandering the film's investment in various ways.

The money spent on wrapping up filming was actually nothing.

Xu Zan was soaking alone in a hot spring, surrounded by steaming mist, a glass of red wine in one hand, thoroughly enjoying himself. The only downside was that it didn't snow.

He didn't date any girls, after all, he was afraid of getting sick. Although AIDS hadn't been officially reported in this era, it didn't mean it didn't exist.

Besides these, there were also gonorrhea and syphilis. Taiwan has a rich red-light district culture, and with American soldiers stationed there, it's hard to say what strange things might exist in society.

Swirling the wine glass, Xu Zan tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. The aftertaste of the wine was quite pleasant. He closed his eyes to savor it, and the moment he opened them, he saw a woman walking into the water through the wine glass.

Hu Huizhong, wearing a one-piece swimsuit, sat opposite, exhaling a long breath.

"Huh? Didn't you go to tutoring?" Xu Zan asked.

"Yes, I'm the female lead. The production team paid for the hot springs, how could I not participate?" Hu Huizhong slowly swam over.

The hot spring water wet her hair, and water droplets slid down her cheeks. Her fair skin was flushed from the hot spring water as she leaned against Xu Zan.

"Did you ask? What exactly happened to Tang Chongsheng? I went there several times, but I couldn't catch a glimpse of him! It seems like he hasn't been home for over half a month?"

"Well, to be honest, I don't want to get involved. After all, as a friend, saying too much is wrong, and saying too little is also wrong. In the end, I'd be caught in the middle. All I can say is, he has his path, and you have yours."

Sometimes, love can't withstand any obstacle!

Xu Zan reached out and wiped away Hu Huizhong's tears.

"By the way, don't even think about using me to get him angry. Your breasts are too small, not my type!"

Enraged, Hu Huizhong slapped the water with both hands and finally reached out to twist his ear.

Xu Zan knew very well that he must not become obsessed with women or get into unnecessary trouble during the early stages of his career.

Who knows what Tang Chongsheng is really thinking? If he's really petty and it ends up causing a gang war between the Northern Alliance and the Bamboo Alliance, then all those years of playing the fool will have been for nothing.
