Huayu 2007: Starting with Super Boy!

three days later.

With the director's "Cut!", filming for Meteor Shower officially wrapped!

"Wow! It's finally over!"

"You bet I'm exhausted. I need to go back and rest for a while to recharge."

"This is the first time I've encountered such a twisted film crew."

"That's how all directors in Hong Kong are."

"That's true. I heard that Wang Jin can finish filming and release a movie in just seven days. I really don't know how they do it. It's insane."

Cheers and murmurs erupted from the audience.

And their genuine laughter.

The reason is simple: these days of rushing to finish the work were too tough.

Filming for 14-16 hours a day, rain or shine, is really exhausting.

However, this only means that the main footage has been filmed.

A considerable amount of time will be needed for reshoots, post-production, and submission for review. It is estimated that the film will be released in one or two months, or even longer.

It depends on Hunan TV's determination.

However, judging from Wang Yihan's perspective, Hunan TV is probably in a hurry.

Because a post-production team was already on-site during the later stages of filming, they were editing and producing the final product while filming was in progress.

If there's no rush to release it, there's no need to arrange it this way.

Generally, a TV series, following the normal process of filming, post-production, submission for review, and promotion, takes at least six months.

Hunan TV probably doesn't want to wait that long.

night.

Wrap-up party.

Everyone toasted the director in perfect unison.

One cup for you, one cup for me.

Finally, the director slipped under the table.

"Hehe... I've finally gotten my revenge." Su Xing laughed triumphantly.

Yu Haoming, being somewhat kind-hearted, said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to treat the director like this?"

Wei Chen chimed in, "What's wrong with that? We're just showing respect to the director, you know?"

Su Xing quickly clarified, "Wei Chen is right, it's a matter of respect. Don't talk nonsense, kid."

Yu Haoming glanced at Wang Yihan, who was watching the commotion from the side.

Wang Yihan said casually, "Don't worry, it's fine. That's how directors in Hong Kong are; the more drinks you offer them, the happier they are. No problem!"

Wang Yihan's words dispelled Yu Haoming's concerns.

He then smiled happily.

The director has really given him a hard time lately.

"What are your plans for the future?" Yu Haoming asked.

Su Xing shrugged: "What other plans do I have? My dad wants me to go back and inherit the family business."

Yu Haoming exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? So you're just going to give up on this third place you worked so hard to get?"

Wei Chen quickly pressed, "What about the contract? What's going on with the contract?"

Wang Yihan patted them on the shoulder, looking at the two clear-eyed young people with a hint of exasperation: "He was just joking, and you actually took it seriously?"

Su Xing finally broke free from her family's constraints to participate in Super Boy, hoping to have some fun in the entertainment industry. How could she possibly listen to reason and go back so easily?

"Ah! So you were just deceiving my feelings?" Wei Chen said irritably, wrapping his arms around his neck.

"Cough cough... Let go! Let go now! I was just making a little joke, is it really that serious..." Su Xing's face turned red from being strangled.

Wei Chen not only didn't give up, but instead summoned Yu Haoming to join him.

The three of them started making a ruckus.

Zhang Hanyun walked up to Wang Yihan at some point, and said with an envious look, "I really envy your friendships as boys, so simple and pure!"

Wang Yihan turned to look at her: "Don't you girls have this kind of friendship?"

Zhang Hanyun shook her head: "Absolutely not!"

"So you and Zhao Liying are just superficial friends?" Wang Yihan glanced at Zhao Liying not far away and asked curiously.

Zhang Hanyun playfully hit him: "What do you mean by 'fake sisters'? That's such an awful way to put it."

"We're sisters who've been through thick and thin together, we're very close."

"Then why did you say that just now?" Wang Yihan asked.

Zhang Hanyun said, "No matter how good a girl's relationship is, she can't do what you guys do."

"I understand." Wang Yihan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

He had heard the rumors that there were six groups of four girls in the dormitory.

After filming wrapped, everyone went home to their own families.

Wang Yihan, who is the lead actress, cannot leave yet.

We need to stay and film some additional scenes.

The same applies to Zhao Liying, who plays the female lead.

In the words of Shen Yi, the godfather of idol dramas: "The most important thing in an idol drama is the scenes between the male and female leads. Whether the drama can become a hit depends on the two of you. So the plots of other supporting characters can be compromised, but your scenes cannot. They must be perfect."

Two days later.

Wang Yihan looked at Zhao Liying speechlessly.

Zhao Liying's lips were a little swollen, and she looked at him listlessly.

The two finally understood what the director meant by "striving for perfection".

Damn it, two whole days.

The two of them spent all their time reshooting their kissing scene.

That's right.

The director's pursuit of perfection is exemplified by the sweet kissing scenes.

Well, you can't say he was wrong.

Idol dramas, isn't that what young boys and girls watch?

He's hit the sweet spot for his core audience.

No wonder he became the godfather of idol dramas.

Zhang Hanyun couldn't stand this, so she left early to attend her scheduled events.

Before I went, I gave him a stern warning that he was not allowed to film this kind of movie again.

otherwise...

Well, she didn't say what the specific punishment would be.

But Wang Yihan could tell that she was quite resistant to this.

Fine.

If you don't want to take the photos, then don't.

If it weren't so difficult to gain a large following and break into the mainstream, he wouldn't want to film this kind of movie.

Playing too many domineering CEO roles can easily turn a man into a greasy, unappealing type.

Even Huang Xiaoming, the nation's heartthrob, can't escape this curse.

If he hadn't consistently made a good film after each of his "greasy, domineering CEO" roles to salvage his career, his acting career would probably have been over long ago.

"That's all for now. I'll call you again if needed later." The director greatly appreciated the two men's professionalism.

He specially took out his personal belongings and gave them to the two of them as souvenirs.

Zhao Liying accepted it with a grateful expression.

Wang Yihan accepted it casually.
