Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Continuing the Myth [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

On the road, Lu Hao perhaps noticed that Lu Xiaobu was not in a good mood and dared not speak.

Arriving at Chen Feiyang’s location.

It was a camper van, and the sound of a quarrel burst forth from inside even before they approached.

"Gong Shu, how many times have I told you, it’s not like this here! Why don’t you shoot it properly?"

"I told you, it needs to be more realistic here, not just a perfunctory effort!"

"Tell me, how many times have we shot this scene already, and why do you still look the same?!"

Chen Feiyang’s loud voice penetrated the camper van, filling everyone’s ears!

Then a sharp female voice came out:

"Director Chen, aren’t you being too harsh?"

"Our Gong Shu remembers the favor of you promoting him, which is why he turned down the currently most trending ’Youthful Frenzy’ to shoot this disaster of a movie."

"Not to mention the low pay, you’re also being picky, we’ve worked together so many times, why sabotage your own people?"

Another male voice: "Sister Wang, say less, you know Director Chen’s temper."

"What do you mean say less? It’s sweltering, everyone is here filming with him, and he is still nitpicking. If it were a good script, fine, but look at that crap he’s shooting, it’s nonsense. Who is he shooting it for? Brainless primary school students?"

Sister Wang’s voice grew louder and louder.

"Nonsense?! Get out!"

Chen Feiyang, upon hearing this woman insult the script, finally exploded, and roared at the woman: "Get out! If you don’t want to shoot, then get out!"

He could tolerate being scolded, but not the script being insulted!

This was the god-level script given to him by Lu Xiaobu, he won’t allow anyone to insult it.

"If that’s how it is, we are leaving! We don’t care about your pitiful pay anyway, consider it returning a favor!"

The woman pulled up a man sitting next to her, opened the car door, left the camper van, got into their car, and drove away, not even looking back!

After they left.

Lu Xiaobu then entered the camper van.

Upon seeing Lu Xiaobu, Chen Feiyang gave a wry smile: "Young Master Bu, please have a seat, sorry to show you such a farce."

"Speak, I need an explanation."

Lu Xiaobu entered the camper van, looking rather displeased.

Ever since arriving at the film city, he hadn’t seen anything going smoothly.

"What’s all this?"

Chen Feiyang looked confused.

Lu Hao waved his hand at Chen Feiyang and quietly relayed the recent events.

Only then did Chen Feiyang come to a realization, he gave a wry smile and said: "It’s been a mess, you’ve seen all the bad, none of the good."

Lu Xiaobu: "Hmm?"

"Actually, the situation is like this, the filming of ’A Chinese Odyssey’ is almost concluding, and it’s essentially wrap-up time. But there are just a few scenes that aren’t good and need reshooting. That’s what has been keeping us busy these days," explained Chen Feiyang with a bitter smile.

"And the main reason is the Gong Shu who just left, he wasn’t taking it seriously, that’s why we had to keep redoing this part."

"That youngster just now? The lead?"

Lu Xiaobu felt somewhat better after hearing Chen Feiyang’s explanation.

"Oh, not him, it’s a supporting actor. The main actors all owe me favors, they wouldn’t mess around, after all, I do have some prestige in the film industry."

Chen Feiyang said somewhat proudly, but then gave another wry smile:

"However, it’s easy to meet King Yan, but hard to deal with minor demons, especially these half-bottles making a lot of noise, they are the most troublesome."

"Gong Shu originally was enthusiastic about shooting my movie, even turned down another film to come."

"His agent, that woman from before, was very unhappy from the start, thinking the pay was too low, constantly whispering in Gong Shu’s ear."

"It was fine at first, Gong Shu ignored her, but later, the movie ’Youthful Frenzy’ he turned down started to heat up in its promotions, getting incredibly high attention, and they kept inviting him back to be a lead."

"All these things combined, Gong Shu started to become tricky, delivering a slapdash performance, picking faults everywhere. That’s how today ended up like this."

After explaining, Chen Feiyang sighed: "Young Master Bu, the extras you saw earlier were just coordinating with this Gong Shu for the shoot."

He knew in his heart that part of the cause was also his own doing.

That was his absolute confidentiality regarding the script.

He never shoots according to the scheduled script but shoots randomly and then edits everything together at the end.

This is to ensure the script remains confidential to the greatest extent.

The seasoned actors all know his habits and trust him, so they don’t ask too many questions.

But these new actors, especially those who thought they had a better choice, just didn’t get it!

"Really?"

Lu Xiaobu remained somewhat skeptical.

"Young Master Bu, you’ll see for yourself."

Chen Feiyang stopped explaining, after all, facts speak louder than words.

Others can’t see, but Young Master Bu can!

First, he asked Wu Qianmin, Zhou Jingyuan, and Liang Lan to leave.

Beneath Lu Xiaobu’s nod, the three women pursed their lips and left the trailer.

Then, Chen Feiyang asked Lu Hao to stand guard at the door.

Finally, he cautiously took out the filmed tape and played it on the TV.

Looking at the scenes playing on the TV, Lu Xiaobu confirmed that this was indeed the plot of A Chinese Odyssey, no mistake!

Thus, he quickly became immersed in it.

This was a movie that lasted over three hours.

After all, the script Lu Xiaobu gave to Chen Feiyang wasn’t for one movie, but it contained the scripts for two movies.

And Chen Feiyang, he was truly domineering.

He actually managed to film the contents of two movies from Earth before with just ten million.

Just on this point alone, Chen Feiyang’s prestige in the film industry was indeed not unfounded.

"Sigh!"

Lu Xiaobu let out a long breath after watching.

He didn’t quite understand filmmaking, and the current movie wasn’t yet perfect.

But as an audience, one who had seen Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey,

He could confidently say.

Chen Feiyang hadn’t tarnished the classic but had continued the legend!

Very good! Very beautiful!

"Young Master Bu, are you reassured now?"

Chen Feiyang smiled.

Getting acknowledgment from Lu Xiaobu, who provided the script, was the greatest encouragement for him!

"I’ve wronged you."

Lu Xiaobu immediately apologized.

"No, no, no, I don’t deserve this,"

Chen Feiyang hastened to wave his hands.

He felt very content inside.

Though Young Master Bu was a second-generation rich, he was different from the others.

He never had those moments of stubborn pride, refusing to admit he was wrong.

"By the way, I just heard that our movie’s promotion is not going very well?"

Lu Xiaobu asked again.

"This..."

Talking about this made Chen Feiyang feel awkward: "After all, our budget was only ten million; making the film was already striving my utmost, so the promotional aspect has always been a bit weak."

"Well then, I’ll take care of the promotion."

Lu Xiaobu stood up, "That Gong Shu, right? I’ll make him regret deeply!"

He would not allow A Chinese Odyssey to become a flop in people’s eyes.

He still remembered how, when Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey first premiered, it had dismal box office performance, with no recognition.

He will absolutely not let that happen again!

It’s just promotion!

Who could be better at this game than me?!
