Chapter 42: Filming complete, a new first-tier singer in the music scene is born!

Over the next few days, the atmosphere within the crew suddenly became very harmonious.

Filming also went very smoothly.

Instances of NG were rare. ===== CHAPTER 99 =====

Because the pressure was too great and two directors were watching, the actors were under immense strain, striving to bring out their best state every time they went on set.

They were terrified of facing a "mixed doubles" beatdown.

Under these circumstances, the filming progress accelerated.

Once the twins' directing prowess was thoroughly recognized by Li Li Yaohuo, they even opened two film sets to shoot simultaneously.

Yet, beneath this harmonious facade, the actors each had their own agendas.

For example.

During a shoot one day.

Zhu Zhu Xudan brought two bags of milk tea to the assistant: "Little sister, this is my milk tea. What flavors do you want?"

Xu Youyue: ...

One night.

Dai Si gathered her courage and knocked on the twins' door: "Editor Xu, you've worked hard filming all day. I have a knack for massage; let me give you one."

The young girl: ...

One day while the young girl was playing a game.

Zhang Zhang Yunlong approached with his phone: "Brother Yue, let's play together. My Gongsun Li is super pro."

Because You Mingyue could write scripts as a screenwriter and direct as a director, she was simply too formidable. A staff member in the crew was the first to call her "Brother Yue," and soon, this title spread throughout the entire crew.

Eventually, even Zhang Zhang Yunlong and Li Li Yaohuo would call her that at times.

And their attitude toward You Mingyue...

Was actually a very realistic choice.

Especially for the artists at Jiaxing Entertainment.

It was obvious that in the future, Jiaxing might see a situation where You Mingyue wrote a script and then directed it herself. In such a case, building a good relationship in advance to secure good roles and resources was essential.

It’s just sucking up, right? Who doesn't know how to do that?

As for the other extras, they were almost ready to kneel and fawn.

Even the director Li Li Yaohuo had a greatly changed attitude toward the twins, greeting them with a smile every time they met.

This situation remained unchanged even after Yang Mi joined the crew.

Because.

She had already learned from other artists in the company's group chat that the twins could direct.

Not only was she not surprised by the "fawning" attitude of those people toward the twins.

Even her own attitude toward the twins became even better.

At the same time.

She was incredibly shocked deep down.

"Composing, singing, directing, screenwriting... Is there really such a talented person in this world? Born to eat the entertainment industry's rice bowl?"

Yang Mi was the hardworking type.

She didn't want to believe such an existence could be real.

But the facts were right before her eyes.

Aside from using words like "monster" or "gifted player" to describe these twins, she couldn't think of any other reason.

Time flew by.

The filming progress of *Midnight Ring* was fast, and in mid-August, they held a wrap-up banquet, signifying that filming had officially ended.

From start to finish, it took only about twenty days in total.

As fast as making a trashy film.

However.

Firstly, the movie itself didn't involve many scenes.

Secondly, they had been filming with two units toward the end.

This speed was already the result of striving for excellence.

Otherwise, it could have been finished in ten days or so.

And during this period.

For Xu Xu Mingyou, many things had happened as well.

Her hard work earlier had ushered in a harvest season.

In the music scene.

At the end of July, *Red Ling* successfully held onto the top spot with 23.225 million downloads.

She became the July music chart champion.

Officially becoming a first-tier singer in the Chinese music scene.

At the same time.

Another song, *Bubble*, took second place.

Having two songs take first and second place respectively completely shook the music scene and caused a sensation across the internet.

Additionally, the ancient-style song *Sending the Moon* written for the Jiaxing trainees became a massive hit online following the broadcast of the girl group idol show *Creation Camp*, with many bloggers on Douyin and Bilibili dancing the fan dance.

In the end, *Sending the Moon* broke into the monthly music chart, stopping at fifteenth place.

After all, in terms of quality, this song was actually much worse than *Red Ling* and *Bubble*.

And these three songs.

After platform commissions and taxes, they brought her about 20 million in earnings.

She had thoroughly become a little rich woman.

The pressure of making money had eased somewhat.

In terms of novels.

Due to being busy with filming, the young girl hadn't released massive updates.

But with the previous drafts and continuous updates, *Shrouding the Heavens* had been updated to chapter ninety-seven, with Ye Fan entering the Life Profound realm and about to head to the Ancient Sacred Land to explore.

Compared to the over 20 million in song earnings, the July royalties were zero because the Feilu Novel Network required a new book to reach 300,000 words before it could be listed.

But it was gratifying that as the plot progressed, more and more readers were watching.

Presumably, when it goes live in a couple of days, the subscription results won't be bad.

It is worth mentioning that seeing it was about to go live, Feilu Novel Network editor Gu Gu Qingyao was urging for updates on WeChat every day, but the young girl was very calm.

And in terms of live streaming...

The young girl had been ghosting for a long time.

She had only posted two videos from the set at the beginning of filming, and then she had been ghosting ever since.

However, her fan count had grown by 11 million, perhaps due to the celebrity effect.

But.

Fans all said they were the laziest female streamers in history, but they also expressed understanding that they were very busy.

Additionally.

Mid-filming, the young girl returned to Shancheng once to collect the two sisters' admission letters.

"School is about to start..." Inside the hotel room, Xu Youyue and Xu Mingyue were sleeping in each other's arms, but their eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling.

She was full of anticipation for the start of school.

The Imperial Drama Academy's acting department must have tons of beautiful young ladies, right?

August 16th.

The young girl returned to the capital. ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
