Chapter 940 - Setting the Date to Release the Movie! (1/2)

A month passed by quickly.

In the shooting base, all the staff worked hard and did their job meticulously during this month.

In addition, He Gaoming’s martial arts team was amazing, and the actors excelled at acting. They nearly filmed every scene with one take.

Even in some delicate shots, they wouldn’t retake them more than three times.

This kind of shooting speed didn’t only amaze Director Chen Xiaogang, but also the actor who played Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Baoguo.

“I’ve been filming for most of my life. This is the first time I’ve filmed a movie so smoothly. It’s finished in a month.”

Li Baoguo, who was the first to finish filming his scenes, could not help but exclaim as he looked at the last scene filmed by Director Chen Xiaogang.

It was the last scene of the movie.

Sitting in front of the monitor, Director Chen Xiaogang stared intently at the monitor screen.

On the screen, Yang Yizhi, played by Fang Qiu, walked away against the morning sun.

“Cut!” Just as Fang Qiu walked to the exact position, Director Chen Xiaogang immediately stood up excitedly and shouted to everyone, “It’s a wrap!”

As soon as he said that, all the actors and staff cheered with smiles.

Fang Qiu also smiled.

A month finally passed.

As expected, the movie finished shooting on time, which was in line with Fang Qiu’s schedule.

“All right.” Director Chen Xiaogang excitedly called everyone and said, “Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Don’t leave today. Let’s have a celebratory drink tonight!”

It was already a common thing to have a celebratory drink and banquet in the entertainment circle.

These two were different. A celebratory drink represented the completion of one thing. For instance, a musician finished the production of a record. A TV drama director finished the shooting of a TV show.

Having a celebratory drink was to express appreciation to all the staff members, while the celebratory banquet was different. The celebratory banquet represented a gratifying achievement, such as the film box reaching hundreds of millions, etc.

After having the celebratory drink, it was very likely that everyone would gather together again at the celebratory banquet.

In the evening, all the actors removed their makeup, and the staff put away all their instruments. Everyone took a shower, changed into clean clothes one by one, and went to a rather famous restaurant outside the shooting base.

Under the arrangement of waiters, everyone gathered together.

“To tell you the truth.” After the dishes were served, Director Chen Xiaogang was pouring wine while saying, “I have made a number of movies in my life. However, this is the first time I’ve finished shooting a movie in such a short time!”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaogang stood up and raised the goblet that he had just filled to the brim. Putting on a toasting posture, he said to all the actors and staff members, “Thank you for your efforts. This is a movie that you have successfully created. Without everyone’s assistance, there will be no miracle of a movie being completed in one month. Thank you all. I’ll finish my drink to show my respect to you first!”

“Okay!” The actors and staff got up to drink.

Fang Qiu also took a few sips.

They didn’t eat much food, but they drank a lot.

As Wulin people, He Gaoming and the others showed their strong capacity for liquor in front of everyone, which intimidated all the members of the crew.

There was nothing they could do about it. After all, they were overjoyed.

It was a total of one million.

They earned one million in a month, which was real money.

How could they not be overjoyed when this group of Wulin people, who had little money, made such a large sum of money in merely one month?

Everyone had a great time having the celebratory drink.

At the party, the actors who acted in the movie were happily taking photos with each other to remember the moment.

The celebratory party was still going on.

Some actors already posted photos of everyone gathering at the celebratory drink party after finishing filming the movie on Weibo.

As soon as the photos came out, they immediately attracted numerous netizens’ attention.

“It’s finished?”

“Didn’t they just announce that the shooting officially started?”

“I remember that the opening ceremony was held a month ago. Did they finish the shooting in 30 days?”

“Damn it! It normally takes Director Chen Xiaogang half a year or three seasons to finish filming a movie. How could he finish this one in just one month?”

“Isn’t it too fake since he made it so fast?”

“It took 30 days to film a movie. Is this an online TV drama?”

“Alas, it seems we were all fooled by Chen Xiaogang this time. A movie was made within one month. How good could it be?”

“Chen Xiaogang is too brainless. He is a renowned director. How could he make such a shitty movie? It’s simply impossible to watch a movie which was only made with one month, right?”

“I don’t want to watch it anymore. I feel like I’ve been cheated. How can a fu*king movie made in a month be counted as a movie? Even a variety show can’t be finished in a month, can it?”

“Chen Xiaogang has betrayed the professional ethics of a director!”

Countless netizens were discussing it.

Everyone felt that it was too unbelievable.
