Who says Beijing Film Academy has no great directors? (2002)

Chapter 107 caused Zhang Jizhong to bleed.

The next day, the production team notified Liu Yifei to reshoot the dialogue scenes.

She was also very curious and said to Liu Xiaoli, "I missed a lot of wire work scenes, so why are you making me do more dialogue scenes as soon as I come back?"

Liu Xiaoli thought for a moment, "It must be that Xiao Chen went to the director and told you to take a break."

"oh."

With these questions in mind, Liu Yifei arrived at the film set and learned from her colleagues that the action scenes crew had been shut down for rectification.

Liu Yifei immediately approached Huang Xiaoming, with whom she had a closer relationship, and asked, "Brother Xiaoming, do you know what happened?"

Huang Xiaoming was also completely confused, but being able to rest was definitely a good thing.

The wire work for the TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was of questionable quality; after filming with wires on all day, my back was so sore I couldn't straighten it.

Huang Xiaoming crept closer and said, "I don't know either. I was going to ask you."

Suddenly, Liu Yifei remembered something and said to Huang Xiaoming, "By the way, Brother Xiaoming, let's go out tonight, I'll treat you to dinner."

""

Huang Xiaoming hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Just the two of us?"

Liu Yifei looked around and whispered, "And Chen Yan too."

Huang Xiaoming immediately understood; no wonder someone had reported seeing Chen Yan on set yesterday.

He was quick-witted and immediately thought that the pause in the action scenes might be related to Chen Yan, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask. Liu Yifei obviously didn't know either.

Huang Xiaoming laughed heartily and said, "Sure, I'll be there whenever you call."

Yang Mi, who was watching from a distance, saw Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming together, turned around and rolled her eyes, thinking to herself: Huang Xiaoming is also a sycophant who likes to fawn over the powerful and step on the weak. He's already sucking up to Liu Yifei as soon as she got back.

What is that...?

Chen Yan spent the whole day with Zhang Jizhong, personally supervising the replacement of equipment and having someone check it.

He's also a director, and his face darkened when he saw those wire stunts.

"Producer Zhang, you guys have a great equipment purchase. The middleman must have skimmed off a lot of money, right?" Chen Yan had given up on trying to reason with Zhang Jizhong.

The best way to deal with such a seasoned veteran is to just call him out on the spot.

Zhang Jizhong was also embarrassed. This matter was not his responsibility, but he had approved the budget and knew how much money had been paid out.

He kicked away a set of wires with a "smack" and glared at Zhao Jian.

Zhao Jian scratched his head and explained, "These devices are all working properly; the old team will never have any problems."

Chen Yan sneered from the side. There's no such thing as absolute. He remembered reading a report in his previous life about Liu Yifei's Little Dragon Girl scene in the Valley of Heartbreak, where the wire pulley slipped, causing her to fall rapidly 2 or 3 meters in the air.

Fortunately, no one was hurt, but Liu Yifei was terrified and her neck and waist were pulled.

It's estimated that his cervical and lumbar vertebrae were damaged while filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

This isn't the first or second time this film crew has had an accident. While filming the scene where Xiaolongnu stands by the waterfall, she slipped and was swept seven or eight meters away by the rapid current.

If it weren't for an assistant director surnamed Gao who rushed down and grabbed her first, who knows how much worse things might have happened.

Chen Yan looked at Zhang Jizhong and asked coldly, "What are your thoughts, Producer Zhang?"

Producer Zhang's beard twitched. Replacing everyone would be too expensive. The production budget had already been raised again and again just to get Liu Yifei to come.

Zhang Jizhong laughed and said, "Why don't we replace Yifei's equipment first? The others can bear with it. The male and female leads have more scenes in the air."

Goodness, at this time Huang Xiaoming could not be considered a big star in the industry, he could only be considered a popular young idol.

Of course, nobody cared about his thoughts. If it weren't for Chen Yan behind Liu Yifei, even a leading lady with a box office of over 100 million yuan wouldn't have the right to order the crew around.

Out of consideration for Huang Xiaoming's favor, Chen Yan proposed, "Good things come in pairs, Producer Zhang, please change both the male and female leads."

Zhang Jizhong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Okay, let's do as Director Chen says."

With the wire work settled, Zhang Jizhong's mind started working again. If he had suffered a loss here, he would find a way to make up for it elsewhere.

So he asked with a smile, "Director Chen, how about we have dinner together tonight?"

Chen Yan shook his head. "Maybe next time. I already have plans for tonight."

Zhang Jizhong seized the opportunity: "Then tomorrow?"

Chen Yan still refused: "I came in a hurry this time and have to go back tomorrow. I'll invite Producer Zhang next time."

Chen Yan smiled at Zhang Jizhong, just to make it look good, but it was clear that he wasn't giving Zhang Jizhong any face.

I didn't consider this a favor; to emphasize, it was something he should do.

Zhang Jizhong understood the implication in the conversation, so he didn't press the matter further and simply laughed it off.

"Let's go, Director Chen, let's take another look at what's behind us."

Zhao Jian watched the two of them walking side by side, smiling broadly, showing no trace of the tense atmosphere they had displayed when they met that afternoon.

What bad luck, your artists are so delicate.

Yu Min patted the stunned Zhao Jian on the shoulder and said, "Don't take it to heart. He's a big director, after all. He's bound to have a temper."

Although he was young, he had a really imposing presence. He wasn't intimidated at all when he was with the big-bearded man, and sometimes he could even outshine Zhang Jizhong.

Yu Min thought to himself, "These young people are truly formidable."

Zhao Jian curled his lip: "I just don't accept it. How can someone be like this? He's just here to cause trouble."

Yu Min burst out laughing. Zhao Jian was really naive: "You still haven't figured it out? Is that for an artist?"

With a playful pat on Zhao Jian's shoulder, he strode off to catch up with the two.

Zhao Jian stood there for a long time without moving, then suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Oh my god, they're a couple!"

As he spoke, he chased after them.

That evening, Liu Yifei chose a barbecue restaurant that had pretty good food.

We booked a private room, ordered a bunch of skewers, and came over with Huang Xiaoming after the show.

Upon entering the room, Huang Xiaoming, seeing no one was around, asked, "Hey? Director Chen isn't here. Shall we wait for him?"

Liu Yifei was very informal: "It's okay, he told us to eat first, he has some things to finish up over there."

"I'm starving." Liu Yifei took out a list and started drawing meat.

These past few days, Liu Xiaoli has been strictly controlling her diet, barely eating any meat. Today, she's going to have a big feast.

Huang Xiaoming wanted to make a good impression on Chen Yan since it was their first meeting, so he tactfully said, "Isn't that a bad idea? Let's wait for him."

Liu Yifei looked up blankly, then took out her phone: "Then I'll urge him."

Huang Xiaoming reached out his hand to stop him, saying, "Ah, no."

Liu Yifei was confused. Was she in a hurry or not? Why was Huang Xiaoming refusing everything she did?

Huang Xiaoming coughed and said, "Let's chat for a bit, no rush. I also want to ask you if there's anything fun to do when you go back this time."

Liu Yifei frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she realized there really wasn't anything interesting.

"Nothing fun happened, but one unlucky thing did happen. I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said I had some problems with my cervical and lumbar spine."

Huang Xiaoming suddenly realized, "Damn, I finally understand why the action film crew was shut down for rectification."
