Entertainment: My wife is a superstar

Chapter 31 Filming Completed

"Click!"

"Passed!"

On a film set in Hainan Island, Zhuo Yue loudly announced, "I hereby declare that all scenes for the first season of 'Detective X' have been filmed!"

Upon hearing Zhuoyue's words, the people present first glanced at Lin Yi, and after seeing him nod, they cheered excitedly.

The series "Detective X" premiered in mid-July, and almost a month has passed since then.

This filming-while-airing model puts far more work and psychological pressure on the crew than filming and then airing.

If it weren't for the generous bonus, many people would probably have quit long ago.

Sun Haoxuan, Gao Xiaolan, and Gao Yao, in particular, looked as if they had been liberated, with happy smiles on their faces.

As the core trio of "Detective X", they bear much more pressure than the average crew member.

Despite being very busy and tired, even Sun Haoxuan, a top-tier celebrity, had no complaints about Lin Yi; in fact, he was grateful.

The same applies to Gao Xiaolan and Gao Yao, siblings.

Although they have been spending all their time on set and haven't taken on any commercial deals, they can still find out from their agents.

Their prices skyrocketed with the popularity and airing of "Detective X".

Once the final episode of "Detective X" airs, the commercial fees for Gao Xiaolan and Gao Yao are expected to reach the level of a second-tier top-tier, or even a near-first-tier, level.

Going from a nobody to a near-first-tier city is no exaggeration; it's like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

Sun Haoxuan has firmly established himself in the top tier and taken a decisive step towards becoming a top star.

"Everyone should be here for the wrap party today!" Lin Yi said.

"Alright, let's drink until we drop tonight!" Sun Haoxuan cheered.

"We won't leave until we're drunk!"

"We won't leave until we're drunk!"

The rest of the crew also joined in the commotion.

After spending more than a month together, they had a pretty good idea of ​​Sun Haoxuan's personality.

His real-life personality is nothing like X's in the show; in fact, it's the complete opposite.

X is withdrawn, eccentric, and taciturn.

Sun Haoxuan is cheerful, outgoing, and approachable, with the enthusiasm and sincerity characteristic of young people.

It's unclear how things will develop in the future, but at least for now, the crew members all like this young man.

...

The wrap party was held at a hotel rented by the film crew.

At the wrap party, Sun Haoxuan's expectation of drinking until everyone was drunk did not come true.

Although filming for "Detective X" has wrapped up, there's still one more episode of "Detective Challenge" to be recorded.

Many people in the crew have two jobs and can't fully enjoy themselves tonight.

However, there were also some pleasant surprises.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Fu Mingyang pushed a cart into the restaurant. On the cart was a cardboard box covered with a red cloth.

Someone's expression shifted, as if they had guessed what it was, and they excitedly asked, "Brother Fu, what's this?"

"President Lin said that everyone has worked hard during this time. He has no way to repay him, so he can only give them money!"

Fu Mingyang pulled back the red cloth, revealing stacks of neatly arranged hundred-yuan bills inside the box.

"oh!!!"

The cheers and laughter of the crowd instantly heated up the atmosphere.

...

Cheers and laughter created a lively atmosphere, but my heart was cold.

The spotlight is a blessing, but I cannot ask to wait.

Xiao Han, the male lead of "Battle Through the Heavens", felt very cold at this moment. He felt very lonely, like a lonely patient, as if he had been isolated.

He had read the original Battle Through the Heavens novel more than once.

After accepting the role and before joining the production team, I had in-depth discussions with the original author, Potato God, about the plot and how to portray the protagonist, Xiao Huo.

Although his name clashes somewhat with Xiao Huo, the protagonist of Battle Through the Heavens, he is confident enough to portray the character well.

but!

but!

That's not how it was written in the original story!

Adaptation is not fabrication, and parody is not nonsense.

In the original novel, Xiao Huo is clearly the male protagonist, and he has several confidantes.

Why was the original female lead changed to a supporting female character?

Also, aren't the male lead Xiao Huo and the second male lead Yao Chen in a teacher-student relationship?

Why are Yao Chen's scenes being added again and again, and why do their interactions and lines feel so gay?

You deserve to die, you brilliant screenwriter Su Qianyao!!!

Xiao Han was helpless. He protested several times, but they were all rejected without mercy. He was even scolded by Su Qianyao.

As a near-top star, he once again felt lonely and isolated on set.

...

"Teacher Lin, Director Zhuo, I'd like to raise a glass to you both to thank you for taking care of Xiaolan and Gaoyao during this time."

"Sister Mian, you're too kind."

Liu Mian, the host of "Detective Challenge", also came to the wrap party midway through filming.

She came to the table with Lin Yi, Zhuo Yue, Sun Haoxuan and other key members of the production team, raised her glass and said.

Lin Yi and Zhuo Yue also raised their glasses in response.

Gao Xiaolan and Gao Yao are both artists under her company. The two played the female lead and the second male lead in "Detective X", which was one of the conditions for her to become the host of "Detective Challenge".

This is a typical example of an experienced mentor guiding a new employee.

Afterwards, Liu Mian joined the dinner party, while Sun Haoxuan gradually got quite drunk.

"Xiaolan, Brother Gao, I really envy you guys, having Sister Mian to guide you."

Liu Mian smiled politely, then gestured to Gao Yao: "Haoxuan has had too much to drink, take him downstairs to rest."

"Okay." Gao Yao nodded and put down his chopsticks.

"Xiao Fu, can you lend a hand too?" Lin Yi called out to the next table.

They could roughly guess what Sun Haoxuan was going to say next; it would be nothing more than complaining about his management company.

It's fine to say these things in private.

However, at this time, the crew is having a wrap party, and there are many people and lots of gossip. If someone with ulterior motives secretly records the conversation and sells it to paparazzi, it could cause controversy.

"I'm not drunk," Sun Haoxuan mumbled.

His assistant jogged over from the next table and whispered to him to go back and rest.

In the end, Sun Haoxuan was persuaded by his assistant and left with the assistant's help.

This did not affect the atmosphere at the dinner table.

As an actress and part-time host, Liu Mian lacks professional skills, but she has high emotional intelligence.

Under her guidance, the conversation became more relaxed.

Gradually, the wrap party came to an end.

Lin Yi, Zhuo Yue, and Liu Mian, as the most powerful/most famous people in the crew, also have the best rooms, all on the upper floors.

Only Lin Yi, Zhuo Yue, and Liu Mian remained in the elevator.

Liu Mian suddenly spoke up: "Teacher Lin, tomorrow is the last episode of 'Detective Challenge,' what are your thoughts?"

Lin Yi paused slightly.

Since the third episode, after discovering that Zhuoyue was fully capable of controlling the filming of dramas and the recording of variety shows, Lin Yi has rarely interfered with the crew's affairs.

Liu Mian's sudden question to him probably had some hidden meaning.

Lin Yi quickly went through the list of guest stars for tomorrow in his mind.

Two men and two women.

The men were arranged by Li Shen and Lin Yi.

Passerby A, a near-top-tier male actor from Tencent's Penguin Media Group.

Among the female singers is Liao Yuzhu, a female singer from Tencent's Penguin Media Group, who falls between a top-tier singer and a queen of pop.

Passerby B, a popular streamer on Tencent, intends to enter the entertainment industry.
