A real killer playing a villain; the guy surnamed Zhen in Detective, run!

Lu Yuan unscrewed the thermos and took a sip of goji berry water.

"When I was filming 'Black Gold,' I played an assassin. To experience life there, I spent a few days observing outside a special police unit."

He paused for a moment, then said, "It's all about practice."

Props instruction: "..."

Liang Yu: "..."

Xu Zhou: "..."

How many days will I be keeping watch at the gate?

Is there a gun disassembly and assembly training course set up in front of the SWAT team's building?

Anyone who believes that is a fool!

Song Ze stood there, his neck turning red, but he couldn't find a single word to say.

His personal screenwriter hid his phone behind his back; this footage couldn't be released!

Liang Yu felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the scene from the director's booth.

Lu Yuan managed to suppress the matter, but Song Ze was left in an awkward position.

The investors can't be ignored!

Xu Zhou asked in a low voice, "Director Liang, how should we collect it?"

Liang Yu didn't answer; he also had a headache.

Just then, a low commotion arose outside the film set.

A black luxury van was parked at the entrance.

The car door opened, and Su Qinghan got out.

She wore a haute couture trench coat, her long hair tied up, and was followed by an assistant. Two staff members carried top-of-the-line tea and snack boxes, which were printed with the logo of the private restaurant on the Bund.

The entire crew has stopped working, and Su Qinghan rarely visits the set, let alone a web series filming location.

She walked through the crowd, her gaze falling on Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan also looked at her, then his gaze fell on the food box carried by the staff.

This size should contain seafood!

Xu Zhou quickly went to greet him: "Director Su, why did you come in person? We're here—"

Su Qinghan interrupted, "Why was the machine down just now?"

Xu Zhou paused for a moment.

Liang Yu didn't hide anything and told them about the changes to the play.

After listening, Su Qinghan walked to the prop table and picked up the gun that Lu Yuan had just disassembled and reassembled.

She loosened her grip, and the gun fell to Song Ze's feet.

The metallic sound made Song Ze's shoulders tremble.

Su Qinghan looked at him. "You want to add more drama?"

Song Ze opened his mouth: "Director Su, I just feel the character could be more complete..."

"Okay." Su Qinghan pointed to the gun.

"If you can do what he does, blindly dismantling and rebuilding in three seconds, I'll take charge of this scene and have Old Mai add it for you."

The color drained completely from Song Ze's face.

Su Qinghan did not offer him a way out.

"If you can't do it, then go back and act out the original script."

She surveyed the set, saying, "If the investors are dissatisfied with the original script, they can withdraw their funding!"

Xu Zhou's heart almost stopped.

Su Qinghan continued, "Whatever's missing, I, Su Qinghan, will make up the difference!"

The scene became completely silent.

The capital behind Song Ze is not something that cannot be discussed with Su Qinghan, but in today's situation, such discussions cannot continue.

She's not here to negotiate; she's here to protect people!

Song Ze lowered his head and bowed, "Director Su, I'm sorry. Director Liang, I'm sorry. Teacher Lu, I'm sorry. I misunderstood the script just now."

The private screenwriter also bowed, having already put away his phone.

The two slunk back to the dressing room.

News travels faster on set than the production crew.

"Director Su visited the set personally."

"Song Ze's attempt to add scenes was met with a rebuke."

Within minutes, order was restored to the group.

The lighting continued, the set design continued, and the camera was back on track.

No one mentioned changing the script anymore.

Liang Yu returned to the monitor and whispered to Xu Zhou, "After today, things will be quiet in the group."

Xu Zhou wiped his forehead: "I thank Director Su, and I also thank Teacher Lu for his left hand that disassembled the gun."

Lu Yuan, at the center of the storm, was already squatting in front of the tea and snack box.

He opened the first layer, which contained foie gras, Wagyu beef tarts, cold seafood platters, and handmade desserts.

The second layer consists of low-temperature seafood slices.

He looked at Su Qinghan, "Director Su."

Su Qinghan thought he was going to talk about serious matters.

Lu Yuan pointed to one of the boxes: "Does this contain unsalted salmon? The kind that Lao Liu can eat."

Su Qinghan looked at him for two seconds, then said, "Yes."

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then postponing lunch today is acceptable."

Inside the cat carrier, Lao Liu stretched out his paw and grabbed the zipper.

Lu Yuan pressed him down, "Wait a minute. You didn't participate in the blind demolition, so you can't take the credit."

After Su Qinghan left.

From behind the monitor, Liang Yu shouted, "All departments, get ready! Shooting range scene, action!"

Lu Yuan picked up the prop gun; Gu Chenzhou had returned!

This scene was originally planned to be filmed three times.

The first pass is for testing the scheduling, the second pass is for finding the rhythm, and the third pass is for ensuring a minimum level of performance.

It passed on the first try!

Liang Yu took off his headphones and watched Lu Yuan's final action of holstering his gun on the monitor. He felt calmer now.

......

The next day, Xu Zhou received a phone call, his face fell, and he walked over to Liang Yu with the notice.

"Bad news."

Liang Yu looked up: "Who wants to add more scenes now?"

"As for the main set, the previous film crew was delayed, causing a contract extension conflict. The venue owner asked us to return Studio 1 in three days."

Liang Yu fell silent. Studio No. 1 was the main set for the first four episodes of "Dark Night Detective".

The police station, evidence room, interrogation room, and forensic examination corridor were all set up there.

Once the studio is dismantled, the cost of reshooting will double.

Liang Yu closed the storyboard, turned to the assistant director, and said, "Change the schedule."

The assistant director's heart skipped a beat.

Liang Yu said, "We spent the last three days filming the main scenes. We shot group scenes during the day and interrogation and evidence room scenes at night. We worked through the night."

The set was quiet at first, then erupted in wails.

"Director Liang, three all-nighters?"

"We have location shooting tomorrow!"

"The makeup team will die of overwork!"

Liang Yu, feeling helpless, pointed to the ceiling.

"If Studio 1 is demolished, it will only be worse if everyone tries to reshoot later! Let's just tough it out now, things will be easier later."

Old Mai walked by with the script in his hand and sighed.

"The industrialization of online dramas ultimately comes down to human lives and coffee!"

Lu Yuan sat back down on the lounge chair, and didn't react much after hearing the arrangements.

He is dealing with more important matters.

Old Liu squatted down next to the cat carrier, sniffed at the ordinary cat food cans, and then turned and left.

Lu Yuan pushed the can forward: "You ate it yesterday."

The sixth brother flicked his tail, turning his back to him.

Lu Yuan glanced at the empty food box left by Su Qinghan during her visit to the set.

A luxurious experience ruined what was originally a simple cat.

"Your current level of consumption doesn't match our family's cash flow."

The sixth man pretended not to hear.

My phone vibrated; it was a WeChat message from the owner of my usual seafood market.

[Tomorrow morning at 5 AM, salmon scraps will be 50% off. Limited quantity, first come, first served.]

Lu Yuan looked at the message, then at the notice.

We're working the night shift tonight, and we expect to finish around 3:30 AM.

The distance from the film and television base to the morning market in the south of the city is 20 kilometers.

Sales start at 5 PM, the timing is tight, but it's not like there's no chance!

The price is half off, and the quality is very high.

Lu Yuan took the cat food back and said to Lao Liu, "You better pray that we don't go overtime tonight."

Sixth Brother: "Meow."

"Don't rush me. You're not an ordinary cat anymore."
