Chapter 498: Chapter 498: The Finished Product, from President Chen to Director Chen

If every person were like a strand of rope, then Chen Wei was the one twisting them together into a single strong thread.

With him there, everyone functioned like gears, fitting together perfectly, their operation smooth.

This was a scene Liu Meng had never witnessed in all her years in the entertainment circle.

Like flowing clouds and water, each person’s movements were just right, with no excess whatsoever.

In less than two hours, all the shots Chen Wei needed had been taken.

After receiving the memory card, Chen Wei found himself a room, and had Liu Meng set up a computer guaranteed to run smoothly for him, as he wanted to edit the footage personally.

By then, no one doubted Chen Wei’s ability anymore, having fully experienced his capabilities during those two hours.

"I wonder what kind of promotional video President Chen, no, Director Chen will edit."

"I’ve been in the industry for almost ten years, and this is the first time I’ve found filming this interesting, as if I’ve just entered the field."

"Yeah, I’ve worked with nearly dozens of directors, both big and small, but the only one who could do it in one go from beginning to end was Director Chen."

"Director Chen is truly an incredible person."

Unknowingly, everyone’s reference to Chen Wei had shifted from President Chen to Director Chen.

They were convinced not just in words, but in heart as well.

As his senior, Liu Meng heard these words and felt nothing but pride.

"It seems I’ve still underestimated my little junior brother."

Hearing Liu Meng say this, although Liang Xiaoqi didn’t speak, she agreed one hundred percent with her statement.

Liang Xiaoqi had her doubts at first about whether she could perform well as the female lead, but as the filming progressed, she became more immersed in her character, as if she had truly fused with the heroine of ’Dominating the World’, completely forgetting Liang Xiaoqi’s own identity.

So much so that when Chen Wei called cut, it took Liang Xiaoqi almost half a minute to fully exit her role, her eyes shifting in an instant.

And all this was thanks to Chen Wei’s guidance.

How does the saying go? Listening to one’s words is better than reading ten years’ books.

Liang Xiaoqi privately thought that this saying couldn’t be more fitting to describe Chen Wei.

After listening to Chen Wei’s guidance, not only did the outsiders notice, but Liang Xiaoqi could feel her acting improving by leaps and bounds!

Now, all that remained was to wait for Chen Wei to personally take charge and edit the new promotional video.

Liang Xiaoqi hadn’t yet had the chance to see what she looked like on camera.

As time ticked by, the sun soon set in the west.

About an hour later, the door finally opened.

Seeing the crowd waiting at the door, Chen Wei was quite surprised; he had already told them they could leave.

It was clear that everyone was eagerly anticipating the finished product.

"Director Chen, how did the editing go? Was everything smooth?" someone asked with concern.

"Mm, it’s done, and I believe the outcome is quite good," Chen Wei, seeing their eagerness, volunteered, "Shall we watch it together?"

"Of course!" they chorused, their clamor undeniable.

Afterward, Liu Meng specially rented a small theater.

Chen Wei plugged in the USB drive, and as the lights went out, the screening began.

The first scene, coupled with the sound effects, instantly captured everyone’s hearts.

They stared with wide eyes, clinging to every moment of the footage, fearful of missing even a second.

The more I watched, the more excited and restless I became.

Because each frame could be used as a computer or phone wallpaper, they were perfect, not a flaw to be found.

Just by watching this promotional video of less than two minutes, everyone could already sense that if the filming continued at this pace, once the film was released, it would certainly shake the entire film industry and earn a slew of awards!

Most of them even firmly believed that Chen Wei had every chance, every qualification to become the fourth top director of Great Xia.

Chen Wei kept a copy for himself, then handed the memory card to Liu Meng, tasking her with publicity work to mitigate the influence that Guo Quanyou had been casting in the shadows against JM Entertainment.

"No problems, Senior Sister?" Chen Wei asked.

"Don’t worry, once this trailer is released, I guarantee that Guo’s tricks will fall apart on their own. After all, the current audience of Great Xia isn’t just expecting good films, they’re practically starving for them," Liu Meng responded with confidence.

"I’ll handle Shen Junlan’s end of things; the rest is up to you, Senior Sister," Chen Wei proposed.

"Great." Liu Meng was glad to hear Chen Wei say this. She finally understood why he kept a copy of the resources for himself. She had thought he was going to show off to Big Senior Sister Su Yumei and the others.

It turned out that she had misjudged him completely.

At this point, Chen Wei noticed Liang Xiaoqi, still staring at the screen, lost in thought, and took the initiative to walk over and start a conversation, "Hey! It finished a while ago; what are you still spacing out here for?"

"Wei, is that person in the video really me?" Liang Xiaoqi suddenly snapped back to reality, turned around, and looked at Chen Wei with fervent eyes, asking for confirmation over and over again.

"If it’s not you, who else could it be? Me?" Chen Wei teased.

"But it’s just too unbelievable, I feel like it doesn’t look like me at all. I might sound like I’m singing my own praises here, but I truly believe she perfectly fits the image of the female protagonist of ’Dominating the World’ that I have in my mind—it’s just so similar!"

"You brought ’Dominating the World’ to life through the adaptation!" Liang Xiaoqi did not skimp on words of praise, sharing her honest thoughts.

"It’s just a trailer for now; you can heap on the praise after the full film is released," Chen Wei said with a light smile.

"Alright, it’s getting late, go rest up. We’ve got to continue filming tomorrow morning. Let’s aim to finish the movie within three months."

If someone else had said this, even if it came from Guo Quanyou’s mouth, Liang Xiaoqi would still have her doubts, but coming from Chen Wei, she believed him wholeheartedly.

"Right," she nodded in agreement.

Liang Xiaoqi had gone from hesitating, even feeling somewhat coerced, to now eagerly looking forward to the next day, to continue filming.

She thought she was more eager than anyone else to see the completed film ’Dominating the World’ soon.

But everyone felt the same way.

After seeing Liang Xiaoqi off, Chen Wei pulled out his phone, took a deep breath, and found Shen Junlan in his contact list.

Meanwhile.

In the villa.

Buzz Buzz Buzz!

Hearing her phone vibrate.

Shen Junlan initially wanted to ignore it, but upon seeing that the message was from Chen Wei, she immediately picked up the phone and put down her pen.

Curious, "Why would he message me at this time? Could it be he’s inviting me for dinner?"

But when she opened it, she found a web link.

Without a hint of suspicion, Shen Junlan clicked out of curiosity, opening the browser.

"Official announcement, ’Dominating the World’ new trailer announcement... this fast?" Shen Junlan thought it incredible, suspecting Chen Wei was joking with her.

It had only been a few hours, hadn’t it?

Unless... they had been planning this in secret.
