Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

Chapter 25: Filming Wraps Up, Chen Jinfei Appears Again

"Unit 3?"

"Tsk—Ready?"

"Unit 5?"

The walkie-talkie hesitated for a moment before the photographer's voice came through.

"Ready."

"Um……"

May 7, second floor of Xishan Bridge.

Yifei was wearing a white T-shirt, overalls, and a pink headband. She sat behind Ye Chong, holding a plate of melon seeds in one hand, her eyes fixed on the monitor.

A few days ago, Liu's mother suggested leaving, but Qianqian refused.

Firstly, Ye Chong said there was still one shot left to finish, and secondly, Qianqian suggested that they take a trip after filming was completed.

This made Liu's mother start to question life: Why is this little darling siding with outsiders?

As soon as the mother and daughter went upstairs, they spotted a group of people sitting around chatting and eating sunflower seeds. Yifei happily joined them, and Liu Xiaoli was also invited to sit down.

There wasn't much to talk about, and Liu's mother was thinking to herself: as long as her daughter isn't kidnapped, that's enough.

"Lan's film, how much are those fireworks?"

"fireworks?"

Lan Zhipian chewed a couple of peanuts, swallowed them, turned around, and pulled out a price list from the stool:

"Wow, Century Jubilant Fireworks, wholesale price 680, 1000 shots per set, I bought eighteen."

"How much, how much!"

Beside Ye Chong, Qianqian stared wide-eyed, a melon seed between her full, round lips.

Ye Chong's Adam's apple bobbed, and he thought of taking it off for her, but then he caught sight of Liu's mother out of the corner of his eye, so he had to give up in frustration.

"Ahem, can you last for fifteen minutes?"

"I think so!"

Producer Lan stood tall, demonstrating ample professionalism during this final scene.

"The manufacturer told me that one light would last for three minutes, but we lit three at once, which would last for eighteen minutes."

"Hmm... then there's no problem."

Liu's mother watched all this quietly, a sudden sense of unfamiliarity welling up inside her.

Is this the same Lan Sheng who filmed "May Love"?

Back then, he was always elusive, only appearing around mealtimes, slowly strolling by with a thermos in his hand.

Now this...

What changed him?

Liu's mother pondered, never expecting Ye Chong to be involved.

Ye Chong is a very deceptive person. He is usually carefree and unserious, but he is strict, serious and meticulous in his work.

You won't know a person's true nature until you work with him.

"Sizzle—All departments, get ready! Tu Da Fireworks, get ready!"

"receive!"

"Scene 96 of 'The Unknown,' shot one, the first time, action!"

With Ye Chong's command, the entire crew sprang into action.

"put--"

"boom--"

Fireworks filled the sky.

Inside the ambulance, the three actors instantly got into character.

Chen Jianbin, covered in sweat, sprayed Zhang Yu's face with a water gun before laughing with relief.

"Hehehehe... Hahahaha!"

In front of the second-floor surveillance camera, Yifei stopped eating sunflower seeds at some point.

These three actors are all fantastic!

"Screech—Pan Binlong, crash into the car window, crash hard!"

"Bang bang bang—"

Pan Binlong was sobbing inside the car, his head hitting the car window so hard it shook. He opened his mouth wide, tears and snot streaming down his face, letting out a series of silent sobs.

"Well……"

Yifei's eyes also reddened.

This is just a rough estimate on the monitor; imagine seeing it in a movie theater...

She turned to look at her old classmate.

Ye Chong, serious and earnest, pursed his lips, his solemn and proper demeanor reappearing. His eyes moved slightly, his gaze constantly shifting between the three cameras.

Her straight eyebrows were like a sharp sword, and it's unknown whose heart they pierced.

"Sissi!"

"what?"

Yifei turned her head and saw her mother with her arms crossed, staring at her without saying a word.

His heaving chest was a testament to his dissatisfaction with her.

Yifei shrank back and continued looking at the monitor, not daring to look at her old classmate anymore.

"Camera number two, follow up!"

The two bumbling bandits in the scene got out of the car and cried helplessly as they looked at the fireworks filling the sky.

"You're messing with me."

"You're playing me!"

Ye Chong then turned to another monitor, where Camera 5 was far away on the horizon, filming an aerial view.

Five minutes later.

Yifei finished her melon seeds, and Ye Chong finished his last cigarette.

He raised his hand and threw it, causing Yifei to frown.

If you throw it into a sunflower seed shell, it will catch fire!

She lifted her foot and stomped on it.

"Sissi!"

Yifei turned her head and saw her mother glaring at her again.

This time she didn't stop. She stuck out her little pink tongue at her mother and continued to crush the cigarette butt with her foot until it went out.

I'm putting out a fire; I'm very safety-conscious!

"Cut! That's a wrap!"

It was simple and direct, and even the actors on set were stunned for a few seconds.

"Ahhhh! Filming wrapped!"

"Filming wrapped! That's all!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

One of the actors and the director has to go crazy, so Chen Jianbin happily picked up the water gun and started spraying water at a group of actors and crew members.

"It's so childish!"

Filming wrapped!

Yifei grabbed a handful of fruit peels from the table behind her, pulled Ye Chong by the back of his collar, and poured them into his clothes.

"Holy crap!"

"You little potato! You're asking for it!"

"Ah—Help!"

Yi Fei turned and ran, and Ye Chong put down the walkie-talkie and gave chase.

The two of them chased and played around under the watchful eyes of a crowd.

Producer Lan rolled her eyes, glancing at the two people playing around in the distance, and then at Liu's mother, whose face was gloomy.

He lit another cigarette and began talking to himself.

"It's so good to be young! You can keep up the good work. Unlike me, I'm getting old, and my arms and legs aren't as nimble as they used to be. I guess I should retire!"

Liu Xiaoli's eyebrows twitched, but she didn't say anything.

Shortly afterward, the two, panting heavily, returned to the monitor.

Ye Chong clapped his hands, nodded to the producers in thanks, said some polite words, and then turned to pack his things.

"This way, Team Leader Jiang."

Chen Zhixi's voice came from the stairwell, followed by two police officers.

Upon seeing Ye Chong, the two first gave him a proper salute, then warmly extended their hands.

"Director Ye, filming has wrapped. We have fulfilled our mission."

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Jiang. Thank you to the police station and traffic police officers as well."

The three of them went on another round of compliments, which made Yifei, who was watching from the side, sleepy.

It wasn't until 10 p.m. that the group packed their things and headed towards the hotel they had booked.

This was Feiye Studio's first wrap party, which was of extraordinary significance, so he threw a big one.

On the riverside path, Yifei and Yechong walked side by side, admiring the fireworks in the sky, while Liu's mother followed closely behind them, close enough to hear their conversation.

Ye Chong can be incredibly stingy at times, but at other times he can be quite generous.

Upon hearing that Yifei wanted to take a walk along the way, he immediately took out the fireworks that he hadn't finished setting off and was planning to return.

"Whoosh—smack!"

Colorful fireworks lit up the night sky. Yifei's eyelashes trembled slightly. She could roughly guess who the remaining fireworks were for, but she didn't say anything and just quietly admired them.

Thanks to her girl-next-door look today, Yifei easily blended into the crowd by simply wearing a mask.

Ye Chong tilted his head slightly to look at her, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Can I have one?"

"What?!"

"Face mask!"

"Do you need it?"

"Don't you need it?"

Yifei didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand to stop a young lady who was shopping.

"Hello, do you know who he is?"

Seeing this, Ye Chong cooperated by flashing his big white teeth.

"No, I don't know!" The young woman waved her hand and walked away as if she had seen a plague god. As she passed by, you could still hear her muttering "crazy person" under her breath.

"Pfft..." Yifei covered her mouth and giggled.

Ye Chong pouted and pointed at her resentfully.

"You're actually quite happy about this? People say you're crazy!"

Yifei raised an eyebrow and punched him mercilessly:

"I was clearly talking about you!"

"I'm talking to you!"

"I'm talking to you! I'm talking to you, ... you,

"I'm talking to you!"

The two started playfully fighting again.

Liu's mother remained silent, picked up her phone and glanced at it.

Why haven't we arrived yet?

The thought had barely formed...
