Chen Long swallowed hard.
He seemed to finally understand why Mr. Bo always rolled up his sleeves a bit whenever he met Miss Xi.
I have to admit, it really makes him feel so masculine!
Damn, when did Mr. Bo figure out this trick like a peacock showing off its feathers and not share it with the brothers?
At this moment, a certain male peacock tidied his sleeves and leisurely buttoned up his shirt, his thin lips slightly parting: "How’s the progress of the crew?"
Chen Long was stunned for a moment, finally realizing that Mr. Bo was talking about the ’Long Immortal Road’ that Miss Xi had been organizing recently, the one about Fu Xi and Nuwa, which Mr. Bo had personally invested in with his private funds.
Always adept at gathering intelligence for Mr. Bo but never having meddled in the film investment sector, Chen Long stumbled a bit as he reported:
"Well, well the script is now in its third episode, and the fourth will be released tonight. Both the leading lady and leading man have been finalized, and they’re already shooting the first episode."
"The leading lady is a classmate of Miss Xi. The supporting roles mostly use newcomers and not-so-famous veteran actors. A lot of college students have been hired as extras, saving quite a bit on the budget."
"The current issue is that the special effects are quite challenging and costly. After all, it’s a fantasy martial arts drama, and those big scenes with flying around need good backgrounds, or they’ll get mocked for fake CGI by netizens..."
Unexpectedly, Bao Gucheng’s focus wasn’t on the budget or technical issues at all: "Don’t skimp on costs, use the best special effects. Increase the investment with no limits."
Chen Long was just secretly thinking how generous and grand Mr. Bo was.
The next second, a certain male peacock coldly stated: "Replace the leading man, and it’ll save half of the expenses!"
Because all the famous actors had been snagged by Gu Pinting’s drama, Director Ma’s new drama had Xi Langyue as the most notable actor, and his pay would logically be the highest.
Chen Long coughed: "Cough cough, Mr. Bo, actually, Second Young Master Xi, he didn’t take any pay for this drama, it’s a completely friendly sponsorship role..."
Seeing Bao Gucheng’s face turn even colder, Chen Long’s lips twitched as he quickly added: "Actually, Second Young Master Xi’s role in the crew mainly is to put Miss Xi at ease. After all, there are too many newcomers in the group, especially Miss Xi’s classmate Wu Qianman, who has no acting experience and needs a seasoned hand to guide her. I heard Second Young Master Xi and Wu Qianman get along well. Although they just met, they’re cooperating excellently; plus, Wu Qianman is a little fangirl of his and spends her free time tagging along with Second Young Master Xi..."
Although Bao Gucheng’s face wasn’t looking much better, he finally ceased insisting on replacing the leading man: "Keep an eye on it."
Who else could it be but Second Young Master Xi? Our Mr. Bo gets so jealous, not even his brother-in-law can escape.
Bao Gucheng fastened the last shirt button and seemingly casually asked: "What’s the synopsis of the fourth episode?"
Chen Long tried hard to recall: "It seems the teaser is about Nuwa trying to strip Fu Xi’s clothes. Yes, yes, that’s the first famous scene in the script. The director says it has to be shot properly, really need to capture that immersive feeling! The fourth episode will be serialized tonight, and Gu Qiusha is bound to gain more followers."
This clothes-stripping plot oddly feels a bit familiar?
The last frame of the fourth episode, Gu Qiusha had already finished painting. Follow current novels on NovelHub(.)net
