Chapter 43: He

Returning to the hotel at night, Cao Yang first wrote down the summary of today's work.

What was completed, what wasn't, whether the unfinished parts would affect tomorrow's filming progress, whether to adjust—these all had to be sorted out.

Why do you often see news about crews working overtime on the internet?

Actually, before a film is shot, the director and coordinator, combined with the actors' schedules and other factors, have already formulated the daily filming tasks. If they can't finish, they have to work overtime; otherwise, it will cause big trouble, not just a matter of re-formulating the plan.

For example, today's filming, because of Yu Feihong, several shots couldn't be finished.

Under normal circumstances, they would definitely have to work overtime, and then the crew staff would be unhappy, and Yu Feihong would instruct her assistant or agent to buy late-night snacks to treat the crew—this is the usual practice.

But the fact is that these few shots weren't finished, and they didn't work overtime to shoot them. So what to do?

Move it to tomorrow? What about tomorrow's plan? What about some actors who were notified of the exact date to join the crew? Let them join the crew late?

Or put the unfinished shots at the end for reshooting? What about the actors who have rival scenes with Yu Feihong? Do they have to come back for another trip specifically to reshoot these planned shots?

What about the staff? Some of them aren't signed for a part-contract; they are paid by the day. After they finish their work, they walk away. When they need to reshoot later, maybe they've already signed with another crew.

That's why you often hear about crews working overtime.

Fortunately, Cao Yang's side is a bit better and easier to handle.

The crew staff are either from the Youth Film Studio—in the system, after all. As long as they aren't old oilers, if the leader speaks and asks you to work overtime, do you dare to bare your teeth? Do you still want to progress?

Or they are students from Beijing Film Academy. These are interns, free cattle and horses. They are even hoping to stay in the crew for a few more days.

As for other actors, they are either newcomers, students, or cameos. Who could have an opinion?

The only slightly troublesome one is the Hong Kong actor Wu Qihua, who has rival scenes with Yu Feihong. Yu Feihong has already apologized, and he has already indicated with a smile that it's fine.

Besides, Cao Yang is no longer a nobody now. In the eyes of others, he is also a famous director who has won two Silver Bears. As long as Old Tian doesn't take the lead in making trouble, who would dare?

On this point, I have to mention two famous, awesome figures.

Hong Kong's Wong Kar-wai, with only a script title and no script, dared to pull together a crew, shooting whatever he thought of, and if he couldn't think of anything, he would shoot scenery. If he shot it today and felt it wasn't good tomorrow, he would scrap it and shoot it again.

"Truck Driver" Cameron, he dared to spend more than ten years shooting a film, making investors go bankrupt.

Why do they dare to do this? To put it bluntly, it's because of their fame. Whether it's actors or staff, their value will increase greatly after the film.

Most importantly, their films can make money.

After all is said and done, it's because of interests. Like Wong Kar-wai and Cameron, why are they still not lacking investment despite being so "bad"?

Interests dictate it; there is profit to be made.

Finishing the work, before going to bed, Cao Yang decided to add another immersion experience for Yu Feihong.

Host: Cao Yang

Current Reputation: 412,564

Available Reputation: 212,564

Immersion Experience: +0

Film being shot: *3-Iron*

Male Lead: Liu Ye

Female Lead: Yu Feihong

Reputation is a little bit more than a few days ago, not much change.

Can still exchange for two immersion experiences. Cao Yang simply exchanged for both. Anyway, this broken system only has this one ability, and keeping it is useless.

Add one for Yu Feihong.

Big sister, super little universe, explode... hmm?

Didn't add it?

Why?

Try adding it again.

Then +2 became +0.

Holy shit, what's going on? What happened? How come one couldn't be added, and adding it again turned into directly adding two?

Is it that one more immersion experience still can't handle Yu Feihong, or does the second addition have to be doubled?

Broken thing, and no explanation.

Adding these two, Fairy Feihong is directly at three immersion experiences. Will she be okay?

Cao Yang felt uneasy and couldn't knock on Feihong sister's door in the middle of the night, so he was really a bit worried. Yu Feihong seemed to return to her childhood. At that time, her family was poor, living in Tseung Kwan O, New Territories. Her father was an accountant in a small workshop, and her mother was seriously ill and couldn't work. The whole family was squeezed into a small room of less than 30 square meters.

Huh, why is my background so miserable?

Yu Feihong just flashed such a thought, but it was suppressed, and she fell back into memories.

She was still lucky because she was beautiful. She was discovered by a talent scout on the street, appeared in a film, and suddenly became somewhat famous.

Then, a second-generation heir to a wealthy family took a fancy to her and launched a fierce pursuit.

That was a wealthy family, after all. In Hong Kong, the dream of most actresses after becoming famous is to marry into a wealthy family.

Yu Feihong was no exception. She didn't resist the other party's money and romantic offensive and fell directly.

Men are all the same: sweet words before marriage, ignoring you after marriage. If it were just like this, it would be nothing.

The key is that this rich second generation didn't settle down after marriage. Not only did he spend time with fox friends and dog companions outside, but he also abused her, beat her, and kicked her whenever he was unhappy at home, which was a common occurrence.

Over time, Yu Feihong's spirit almost collapsed, her heart as dead as ash.

Fortunately, he appeared.

!

He took her all over the city, looking for empty rooms temporarily unoccupied, experiencing different lives, discovering the beauty of life. Her heart began to have vitality again, and she felt she had come alive again.

One day, they entered an empty room and found the owner was an old man. Unfortunately, the old man had passed away, and only a dog was accompanying him.

They buried the old man and called the old man's children to notify them.

However, after the old man's children returned, they thought they had murdered the old man and called the police.

The thing Yu Feihong least wanted to see happened. Although the old man's death had nothing to do with them, her abusive husband took her away, bribed people, and sent him to prison.

Yu Feihong's heart was as dead as ash again.

However, thinking of him, thinking of his enlightenment, thinking of his encouragement, thinking of everything about him... she became strong again and learned to resist. She no longer submitted to her husband; she was a complete person, not a puppet attached to someone else.

Today is the happiest day of Yu Feihong's life. He is back, right in this room.

She looked in the mirror, and Cao Yang's face appeared in the mirror behind her.

Yu Feihong opened her eyes, only feeling an unspeakable joy in her heart.

She couldn't help but get off the bed, walked to the mirror barefoot like that, stared at the mirror for a minute, and then slowly stretched out her hand to touch the void beside her.

For a moment, she couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.

"You're here, aren't you?"

Muttering to herself, Yu Feihong then shook her head and laughed at herself.

"I'm truly sick. Why is my head full of him?"

Then she bared her teeth at the mirror for a while and said viciously: "Pfft, you bastard, saying my acting is bad and scolding me every day."
