Chapter 257

It wasn't too serious.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Qin Yu was leading the crew to set up the venue for the final scene.

In this scene, Truman, played by Qin Yu, finally overcomes his fear of water and reaches the edge of the Peach Blossom Spring.

He finally understands that the first love, played by Zhao Liying, was right—everything around him is fake.

Even the sun and moon that rise every day are fake.

He is desperate to leave the Peach Blossom Spring.

He hopes to encounter reality.

Unlike the current Peach Blossom Spring Island.

Everyone is an actor, a group of actors accompanying him in a performance.

This part is a scene between Qin Yu and Zhang Yimou.

Qin Yu wants to leave, while the reality show director and chief planner, played by Zhang Yimou, tries to persuade Truman to stay.

"Qin Yu, if we change the ending so that Truman stays in the end, what do you think?"

With some time left, Zhang Yimou started chatting with Qin Yu.

"Zhang Yimou, I'm not changing it. Maybe those judges like this kind of satire on reality."

Qin Yu replied with a smile.

"But in my opinion, leaving is better. Even if the kind-hearted Truman leaves the Peach Blossom Spring and starves on the streets..."

"At least he is free. I really like a line from The Shawshank Redemption."

"Some birds are not meant to be caged, because their feathers are too bright."

Qin Yu really likes the ending of The Truman Show because it's open-ended.

After watching it, the audience can imagine Truman's final fate however they like.

"You really like that movie, The Shawshank Redemption?"

Before Qin Yu could speak, Reba, who was nearby, couldn't help but interrupt.

"National Master, Brother Yu, I like it too! Shawshank is really amazing, he's so great, he spent over twenty years just to escape from prison."

"..."

Seeing that the two were talking about a movie synopsis she had memorized before, Reba hurriedly showed off.

A sweet smile was on her face.

Zhang Yimou was amused when he heard this.

Qin Yu, however, had a dark face.

Damn it, why does this woman Reba seem to be getting stupider?

What Shawshank? Shawshank is the name of the prison.

You fool.

"Get lost." Qin Yu gave Reba a hard slap on the butt.

"If you haven't watched many movies, don't talk nonsense here. Shawshank is the prison; the protagonist's name is Andy."

"..."

"Ah, Shawshank isn't the protagonist?"

Qin Yu couldn't be bothered with Reba and looked at Zhang Yimou.

"National Master, it's about time, let's start."

"There's only a little bit left."

"Good!"

Qin Yu walked away with Zhang Yimou, not taking Reba along; this girl is just too embarrassing.

Twenty minutes later, everything was ready.

After the assistant director, Qin Yu, and Zhang Yimou confirmed, they shouted:

"The Truman Show, scene 1254, take one, action!"

The camera moved slowly.

Truman, played by Qin Yu, slowly touched the wall painted with the sky, saw a staircase next to it, and walked up.

The camera followed Qin Yu's footsteps.

Finally, he reached the place.

Qin Yu gently pushed open the door.

His face was full of joy.

But at this moment, the voice of the chief director, played by Zhang Yimou, echoed throughout the Peach Blossom Spring.

"..."

"Truman."

Truman looked around, puzzled.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Creator, the creator of all this, the planner of this great program."

"..."

"Then who am I?"

"You are the big star in this program."

"..."

Truman, played by Qin Yu, pursed his lips, seemingly confirming his previous thoughts.

"So everything is fake."

Zhang Yimou pondered for a moment and said.

"But you are real."

Qin Yu smiled, then turned around, ready to step into the door leading to the real world.

"Truman, listen to me—"

"..."

"The world outside is just as fake as the world I gave you."

"With the same lies."

"The same deceit."

"But in my world, you don't need to fear anything."

"..."

"..."

"So say something, tell me, what is your choice?"

"This is a television program, being broadcast to the whole world."

The camera moved slowly to focus on Qin Yu.

He slowly turned around, a bright, sunny smile appearing on his face, just like before.

"In case I don't see you..."

"Good afternoon, good evening, and good night."

After speaking, Qin Yu performed a curtain call.

Then he turned and stepped into the door leading to the real world.

"Cut!"

"Director Qin, it's done, come take a look." The assistant director was excited.

Qin Yu slowly walked toward the computer.

Everyone present looked at Qin Yu excitedly, their faces filled with anticipation.

If this scene passes, then The Truman Show is wrapped.

They had finally completed this wonderful movie.

Qin Yu could naturally see everyone's impatience.

He smiled and came to the computer.

After watching it repeatedly many times, he slowly looked up.

Seeing everyone looking at him.

Qin Yu said with a smile.

"Good, it's a pass. I announce that The Truman Show has officially wrapped. Everyone, cheer!"

"Yeah! It's wrapped!"

"Wow, wow, it's finally wrapped, so excited."

"Wow, I can finally rest, I've been exhausted lately."

"Wrap party, wrap party, feast, feast!"

"..."

Everyone present, whether crew members or actors, was incredibly excited.

The wrap of every movie is hard-won.

Like this time, everyone worked for five whole months to finish it.

This feeling is simply wonderful.

"Alright, everyone pack up your things and let's go. The hotel called to say the wrap party is ready."

"Tonight, we don't stop until we're drunk!"

"..."

"Long live Director Qin, don't stop until we're drunk!"

"Long live Director Qin, don't stop until we're drunk!"

"..."

The crowd became excited again.

They started packing up their things one after another and hurried to the hotel.

Qin Yu was the same; Reba hurried over and pulled Qin Yu toward the hotel.

Tonight is the last day.

She must squeeze Qin Yu dry.

There won't be such a good opportunity in the future.

To see Qin Yu every day.

On the other side.

Just as Qin Yu was leading the crew to the wrap party.

Cai Yinong of Tang Ren was feeling strange.

Looking at Nazha in front of her, she felt a bit odd.

"You said you passed the audition? For that TV series Qinyun Culture recently made, Wuxin: The Monster Killer?"

Nazha kept her head down and didn't speak, just nodded.

"And you're the female lead?"

"Yes, Sister Cai. The director said I was very suitable and told me to prepare well."

Cai Yinong: "..."

Nazha didn't dare to look at Cai Yinong at all.

Cai Yinong rolled her eyes. Damn it, this is too obvious.

Which bastard at Qinyun Culture slept with my little cabbage?

………………

PS: First extra chapter.

Thanks to Yanzu for the tickets.

Continuing.

Ten tickets for an extra chapter.

Cai Yinong had also heard of Wuxin: The Monster Killer, a script personally adapted by Qin Yu.

Nazha is beautiful, no worse than that Reba from Jiahang.

But this woman has bad luck; she's been in the industry for a year and is still lukewarm.

Cai Yinong had even thought about giving up on Nazha.

How should I put it? Whether an actor becomes popular is metaphysical; some people just can't get popular no matter how much you promote them.

Some people are different.

No need to promote them; give them a little opportunity and they'll take off.

A "born-to-be-popular" constitution.

Cai Yinong felt that Nazha was probably the first type.

So she had invested much fewer resources in her recently.

This time, for the Qinyun Culture TV series audition, she only let Nazha go to show her face.

She never thought she could get the role.

Now Nazha not only got it.

She's the female lead!

If this isn't fishy, I'll be damned.

Doesn't she know Nazha's acting skills?

"Tell me, who is it? Fatty Zhou, Guo Fan, Xu Zhen? It couldn't be that Lu Yang, could it?"

Cai Yinong didn't suspect Qin Yu.

The reason is simple.

Qin Yu was still filming on Weizhou Island and hadn't been back to the capital for half a year.

"Sister Cai..."

Nazha was very embarrassed; how could she say something like this?

She had only just become a "little young wife."

Qin Yu hadn't visited her business for a long time.

She was too embarrassed to invite Qin Yu actively; he had been busy lately too.

"Tell me, I wouldn't harm you, would I? I'll help you vet him; please don't let it be that bastard Xu Zhen."

Cai Yinong rolled her eyes.

"That bald guy is slippery as an eel."

"It's not him..."

"Guo Fan?"

"Sister Cai, please don't ask." Nazha's face was so red it looked like it was dripping water.

"Hurry up and say it. It couldn't be that fat guy, right? Yes, this guy came to poach people before, did you run into him?"

Cai Yinong got angry just thinking about Fatty Zhou.

This fat guy poached several professional behind-the-scenes staff from their Tang Ren.

If she couldn't afford to offend Qin Yu, she would have really wanted to scold that fat guy.

"That guy is so fat, aren't you afraid..."

"Sister Cai, stop talking, it's not President Zhou. It's... it's Director Qin."

Cai Yinong was stunned when she heard this, her eyes wide open.

"Director Qin, Qin Yu!!"

Nazha didn't speak, just nodded gently.

"Isn't he filming?"

"Once, Director Qin returned to the capital, and I... just happened to run into him."

Cai Yinong remembered; Nazha had indeed asked her for leave before, and she thought this girl was going to relax.
