Something is wrong! Reborn back to childhood

After his great-grandmother recovered from her illness, Xie Fei's life returned to normal. He trained in the morning, attended classes with various teachers in the afternoon, and attended Wang Dingli's class in the evening.

At the end of December, near the end of the year, the crews they invested in sent news that the filming in Jiangcheng was nearing the end, and now they had to return to the original location to reshoot the part originally filmed by Hong Yuanzhong before they could wrap up the filming.

"According to the progress, it will be released in May next year."

If the actors had not been changed, the filming would have been completed by now, and if edited normally it would have been released in May. In order to speed up the progress, the filmed parts would have been sent for editing first.

Compared to the last time we met, the director seemed like a different person, radiant and glowing.

"Thanks to Feifei for introducing me to such a good actor. Do you want to come to Beijing during the New Year? Uncle will treat you to a feast."

"Thank you, uncle. If you have time during the Chinese New Year, I will come to visit you."

They will go to Beijing to pay New Year's greetings to their eight teachers. As for the Wang family, their master will also go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. He has no children or relatives, but he has many friends, and the company he invested in also needs him to go back.

The director looked at Zhou Wenyi and Xia Yanyan happily, "Wenyi and Yanyan have to come too. Uncle will cook for us himself."

Before he became a director, he was a chef with very good cooking skills. It is said that there are still restaurants calling him from time to time to inquire about his filming progress and tell him that if he is not making it, he should go back to being a chef.

Zhou Wenyi's mouth was watering as he listened to this. "I want to eat Dongpo pork, beggar's chicken, and fried eel shreds."

He was more familiar with the director than Xie Fei. He filmed for a few days and played the protagonist's childhood. Although he didn't have many scenes, it allowed him to indulge in the feeling of being a hero.

Zhou Wenyi likes hanging on wires the most. After the shooting, he watches himself flying around in it, and it really feels like he can fly.

Xia Yanyan was originally very interested, but gave up after trying out one play and did not participate.

The director naturally agreed and said that he would make a delicious meal for them at noon.

"Fei Fei, I'll bring you some oranges next time I come to Jiangcheng." Yu Lan peeled an orange for Xie Fei, "This orange is really not as delicious as the ones grown in my family."

Xie Fei reached out and took it and ate it. She didn’t like oranges, but she had to say that the fruits of this era were really delicious.

There are no pesticides, no messy growth enhancers like saccharin, and although the fruit is not that good-looking, the orange peel is a bit thick, but the taste is really good, and the fruit flavor is very mellow.

The orange is slightly sour, so sour that my eyes narrowed.

Zhou Wenyi likes to eat sour oranges and ate two in one go.

Yu Lan smiled as she watched the three little ones eat oranges. She thought they were too sour and her mouth was watering just watching them eat.

While they were eating oranges, Nie Zijin came with a bag of apples in his hand. He knew the three of them were coming today, so he specially asked their family to send some yesterday. "Oranges are too sour. Eat some apples. My apples are especially sweet."

He squeezed the oranges that Yu Lan bought and didn't forget to pull and step on them.

These two people were filming a costume love drama, in which they were deeply in love. In the end, the woman played by Yu Lan died, and the male protagonist also committed suicide for love.

Many people tend to develop feelings when filming love scenes, but these two not only failed to form a perfect couple, they also quarreled every day.

Especially when Xie Fei came, the two of them became even more incompatible.

Yu Lan gritted her teeth in anger. This bastard just relied on the fact that his home was close. If the photo was taken at her house, he would definitely prefer eating oranges.

Xie Fei happily watched the two quarreling. Even though they disliked each other now, they would be very good friends in the future. It was not just a superficial relationship, but real friends. It was just that their personalities were really incompatible, and they quarreled whenever they met.

Yu Lan disliked Nie Zijin and thought he was childish. She didn't want to argue with him and changed the subject.

"Fei Fei, do you still remember Hong Yuanzhong and Ding Wen?"

"Are they making trouble again?"

"I didn't make a fuss, I just came here to show off."

When Zhou Wenyi heard that there was something exciting to watch, he sat up straight and stopped eating his oranges. "Sister Yulan, please tell me how he showed off."

Yu Lan knew that Zhou Wenyi liked to be in the limelight, so she smiled and said, "After the investor he brought with him withdrew his investment, he invested in a TV series for him alone, and asked him and Ding Wen to star in it. The director didn't pay much attention to it, but he took the initiative to find him and poach people in front of everyone in the crew."

"Someone followed him?"

"Well, the previous Director Zhang joined his team, and two makeup artists and people from the props team left. The salary they offered is much higher than ours."

In this era, even the leading actors don’t get paid that much, let alone the staff.

In order to support their family, they naturally went to whichever company offered the highest salary. The director was a very nice person. When he let them leave, he also told them to come back if they were unhappy with the work, so the two sides kept in touch.

"I heard from makeup artist Sister Liu that their crew was in such a mess. The main investor was brought in by Hong Yuanzhong. He was so arrogant in the crew that all directors had to listen to him. I heard that he disliked the directors' poor shooting and had already changed three directors.

There are also screenwriters who say that other people’s stories are not well written, and they contact our screenwriter teacher privately and ask him to switch to their job.”

When Hong Yuanzhong was here, he also went around, but the director never compromised on filming. In order to achieve better effects, sometimes a scene would be shot more than ten or even dozens of times.

Otherwise, his acting skills would not be able to meet the director's requirements.

When he got there, he felt that the movies he made were not good because of the director's incompetence. It was really... hard to put into words.

"Has the screenwriter teacher come over?"

"How could that be? The screenwriter politely declined, but he was unwilling to give up and came over in person again, offering a very high price. After being rejected again, he got angry and left with a lot of curses.

But it’s a good thing I didn’t go. I heard that they are short of funds now, and the people who were originally poached there with a higher salary have been reduced to their original salary, and may even be reduced.”

"No money?"

"No matter how high the investment is, it can't withstand his extravagant spending. Investors are not stupid. When they find that the money is being burned too quickly and no results are seen, they are naturally unwilling to make additional investments."

Xie Fei was very happy to hear this. The biggest investor behind Hong Yuanzhong was the Sheng family. When Xie Han was kidnapped, the Sheng family was unwilling to give out any money. If they knew that Hong Yuanzhong had wasted their money, they didn't know how to treat him.

And there is Sheng Yingying. When Chen Tengfei came to ask for money for the last time, he took out fifty yuan. It was obvious that the family had no money left, and they must have invested it all in that drama.

She has already begun to look forward to the release of the drama, hoping that it will flop without a trace and all the investment will be lost...tsk tsk.

The director cooked a few dishes. Mei had a delicious meal and then left the crew. She didn’t know when they would meet again.

The entertainment industry is like this, everyone is busy with their own things and it’s hard to see each other unless there is an opportunity to collaborate.

After returning home, Xie Fei counted the money in his hand and wondered whether he should invest in something. Just as he thought of a few projects, Chen Yuyan came back from outside with a pale face...
