Entertainment: The joy of being a director is beyond your imagination

Chapter 134 134. Soaking wolfberries in a thermos cup? Honey, you don’t replenish yourself, but let me? (4000 words long chapter, please read it later)
“Hint: her mom is a great dancer.”

Ah.

Pei Ran laughed.

At this point, he knew who was coming.

Yellow skin and white core, no need to say more.

Without asking any more questions about her sisters, Pei Ran asked, "Doesn't she have to work? Why did she come to see you?"

"We are going to attend the Magnolia Awards ceremony together on the 9th. She just finished shooting a movie and is traveling with her mother in Xiamen, so why don't we go together?"

"alright."

"After asking so many questions, have you guessed who it is?"

"Guessed it."

"Ah? Since you guessed it, you didn't even ask more questions?" Yang Mi was a little puzzled. "I saw people online saying that Liu Yifei is the white moonlight of all men, but you don't seem interested?"

"Humph, who said that? Take her out and shoot her." Pei Ran hugged Da Mimi's waist, "Liu Yifei's figure is too flat. I still prefer the round and plump Mimi."

"Tch, glib."

"So do you like dad's glib tongue?"

Pei Ran gave a wicked smile and stretched out his hand to twist the firm and plump peach buttocks a few times, "Don't say you don't like it. Someone praised me for my good tongue the night before last."

Da Mi Mi snorted, "The bed is the bed, and under the bed is under the bed!"

"well."

Pei Ran didn't argue with her.

She had some free time, but Pei Ran didn't.

He turned around and was about to go to the set, because Sun Also Rises was now entering the final stage, and actors like Deng Chao could relax a little, as the scenes with strong emotions or high difficulty had already been filmed.

However, Pei Ran needed to check the finished shots in full to avoid the crew being disbanded, and then having to call people back for reshoots because a few shots were not taken well, which would cause unnecessary complications.

We also have to select a few behind-the-scenes footage for promotional purposes.

It's all stuff.

Yang Mi obviously knew that he was extremely busy these days.

So she followed him obediently to see if there was anything she could help with. When they arrived at the director's studio, Pei Ran sat down and didn't move, sitting in front of the monitor for three or four hours.

Da Mimi also stood quietly behind him.

She put her little hands on his shoulders and massaged them.

You know what, Yang Mi is really acting like a good wife and mother at this moment. Well, a good wife is indeed a good wife. Even if Mi Mi is in pain, she will satisfy Pei Ran, the bad guy. A good mother, she will feed Nai when she lies in bed at night.

……

Lunch break, time for lunch.

Yang Mi, who had been massaging Pei Ran for several hours, came out of the director's room dangling her wrist. Zeng Jia, who had come to look for Yang Mi, saw her. She immediately acted like an older sister who is like a mother, "Mi Mi, be a lady! Take care of your image! If you walk out dangling your wrist and others see you, they will laugh at you!"

"Hmm? My wrist is just sore, let me move it around."

"That won't make both wrists sore, right?"

"It's all Pei Ran's fault..."

Zeng Jia's mouth twitched, "You have your period, so you two are playing with your hands and chickens?"

Yang Mi was also stunned when she heard this.

Why didn't I realize before that Zeng Jia's head was full of yellow garbage? Fighting chicken... So you and Pei Ran were taught by the same Chinese teacher?
Da Mimi really couldn't help rolling her eyes, "I was massaging his shoulders, so his wrist was sore, it's not what you think!"

Excuse.

Zeng Jia, adhering to the idea of ​​seeing through but not saying anything, changed the subject and said, "Yi Fei and her mother will be here this afternoon. Let's go back and change clothes."

"As for it?"

"It's really that serious!" Zeng Jia said seriously, "What if she brings paparazzi here? When you two meet, you'll be photographed secretly and posted online. She's dressed very beautifully, and you're dressed like a beggar... You don't know how you'll be praised or criticized then!"

"Besides...she must see Pei Ran, right? Do you want your man's attention to be focused on other women?"

In the previous sentence, Yang Mi’s attitude was actually not very firm.

After saying this, Yang Mi instantly burst into a burst of momentum!
You must dress up very beautifully to suppress Liu Yifei!
Before leaving, Yang Mi ran to get a lunch box for Pei Ran. When she came back, she was still holding a thermos cup in her hand. In front of Zeng Jia, she took out a small black bag from her pocket, opened the bag, and poured all the contents into the thermos cup.

Seeing this, Zeng Jia was puzzled, "You...you want to drug Liu Yifei and kill her? It's not that serious...I just said, just in case, maybe Pei Ran really loves you, no matter how beautiful Liu Yifei is, he won't even look at her."

"This is for Pei Ran to drink."

"Are you going to poison Pei Ran to death?!"

Hearing this, Yang Mi rolled her eyes again.

"Am I sick? Why would I give him drugs!"

"What is this?"

"When I was shooting the Tianxia 3 commercial a while ago, I slipped out on purpose and found an old Chinese doctor to prescribe some medicine for Pei Ran."

"Ah?!!!" Zeng Jia was really shocked now.

Mimi! How unsatisfied are you?!
Pei Ran is full of vigor and vitality, and you still give him aphrodisiacs? You must make him penetrate the bed board to feel satisfied, right? !

Seeing Zeng Jia like this, Yang Mi knew that she was thinking the wrong thing. "You think too much. This is a Chinese medicine that nourishes the essence and warms the liver! I think Pei Ran has been too busy recently. I'm afraid he can't handle it."

"Does this medicine nourish the kidneys?" Zeng Jia asked a soul-searching question.

"It seems to have some kidney-tonifying effect."

"Then isn't this still an aphrodisiac?!"

"I already said no!!"

Yang Mi was too lazy to pay attention to Zeng Jia. After pouring the contents of the small bag into the thermos, she took the lunch box and ran into the director's studio to bring it to him.

Soon she came out and left with Zeng Jia and went back to the hotel.

……

The other side.

Pei Ran in the director's studio finally finished watching all the finished shots. He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and blew out smoke rings, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so cool."

It is much more enjoyable to film with Deng Chao, Duan Yihong and others than with Jing Tian and Yang Mi.

It’s not because boys help boys.

The main reason is that these people’s acting skills are all online.

Apart from those difficult shots that really test people, Pei Ran did not spend much time on them. Even though the characters in "The Burning Sun" were all difficult, they would study the script themselves and put themselves into the roles.

The next step is to prepare for the post-production work.

The post-production work of "Scorching Sun" is not an easy job.

He counted carefully and found that at least 400 shots in the whole film needed post-production special effects. Among them, the climax scene of "catching the criminal in the high-rise building" adopted a combination of real-scene construction and computer special effects. The other parts will be produced by the post-production special effects team using D animation, analyzing the changes in light, reflection, perspective, color, etc. of each shot.

In short.

The "Vina Zhonghe Movie Special Effects Studio" invested by President Pei finally came in handy! ! Immediately, Pei Ran called the person in charge of the Vina Zhonghe Studio. After all, he was the financial sponsor, and even the person in charge was promoted by Pei Ran himself.

So Pei Ran called me.

The person in charge was also very respectful.

Pei Ran asked them to prepare in advance, and also informed them of the post-production requirements of "Burning Sun". Whether it was special effects or editing, Pei Ran's requirements were ridiculously high.

The person in charge was also terrified when he heard this.

"Boss Pei, you require both quality and speed... It's a bit like having your cake and eating it too, because..."

"The money that should be given will not be less than a cent from Pei Media, and the work must be done well within the time I set. All employees in your studio who participated in this task can go to the Finance Department to collect their bonuses."

Upon hearing this.

The person in charge immediately changed his expression, "It's not because of the money, but mainly because we also want you, Mr. Pei, to see our efforts during this period. With your support, our current scale is different from the past. We will definitely complete the task you assigned!"

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Pei Ran didn't believe this.

As long as the money is in place, what can't you have?
However, President Pei also knows that it is easy to get carried away if you give him a sweet date, so here comes the big stick~

"Okay, I believe you, but if you don't finish it within the time I ask for, will you also be responsible?"

"……Can!"

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words. You know me well, and I trust you very much."

"Of course, Mr. Pei, you can rest assured!"

No more nonsense with the studio head.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Ran called Liu Wanqing again.

This sexy and beautiful mature woman who hadn't been touched by Pei Ran for a long time couldn't help but speak in a sticky voice after seeing that it was Pei Ran who called, "Boss Pei, you finally remembered your secretary?"

"Hmm? What should you call me?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

Then he said, "Should I call you Master? Or Dad?"

Obviously, she also knew that Pei Ran was on the Forbes Chinese Celebrity List and was jokingly called the entertainment industry's financial sponsor by netizens.

"You call me dad, doesn't that make me seem a little too old?"

"Then you should still call me Master. I'm used to calling you that." Facing Pei Ran, the man who had entered her territory several times, in and out nine times, and made her eyes turn white, calling him Master was obviously more appropriate and also pleasing to the ear.

"Call."

"Good master~"

"It feels weirdly sticky. How about you make up a plot where a cool female boss covets a male subordinate, the kind of flirtatious but deliberately suspenseful feeling?"

"Oh~ Then the male subordinate couldn't help it, and pressed the arrogant female boss on the desk in the office, and slapped the plump buttocks of the female boss tightly wrapped in the hip skirt. The male subordinate also leaned close to her ear and whispered, Madam, you don't want other colleagues to see you like this, right?"

"Well, compared to you, I'm a shitty director."

"Haha." Liu Wanqing couldn't help laughing. "Has the filming of Burning Sun finished? What do you want me to do when you call me?"

"Almost done. I'll be back in a few days." Pei Ran said, opening the lunch box Yang Mi had brought him. While eating, he asked, "How's Cat's Eye?"

"Version 2.0 is currently being tested. It will only be available in the next few days. We will let you check it out first. If there are no problems, it can be released online."

"Ah."

It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

When Maoyan is officially launched, "The Sun Also Rises" will be the first film to be included, and will also be the first film released by Bupei Media, as well as the first Chinese film to be connected to an online ticketing platform!

While eating, Pei Ran listened to Liu Wanqing's work report. When he finished, Pei Ran had almost finished eating. "Wanqing, you will be responsible for the preparation of promotional materials for the release of Burning Sun. I will send you some behind-the-scenes footage via email for use in the promotion."

"Ok."

"In addition to the publicity work, you can go find a company called ByteDance and make an appointment with their CEO. I want to meet with them when I get back..."

Pei Ran didn't finish his words.

It suddenly stopped.

Liu Wanqing on the other end of the phone was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay..." Pei Ran couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at the "Eight Treasure Porridge" in the thermos cup.

Oh shit.

Ginseng, Epimedium, Chinese Angelica, Rehmannia glutinosa, Lycium barbarum…

There were also several things that Pei Ran couldn't name.

What the hell is this for?

Nourish your kidneys?
No wonder Yang Mi reminded herself to finish the water in the thermos cup... But, should I drink this? Who has kidney deficiency and who doesn't know what's going on?

I'm so lazy to spray!!
Liu Wanqing on the other end of the phone exclaimed in confusion.

Pei Ran sighed, "It's okay. Someone sent me a bowl of Ten-Ingredient Kidney-Nourishing Soup. I'll give it to you when I get back, so you don't have to complain about not being able to do it every time."

"Yeah, okay~"

"Please make an appointment with the CEO of the company called ByteDance. I want to have dinner and chat with them when I get back."

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

……

Off set.

Han Jianu was chatting with the assistant director.

I caught a glimpse of two women out of the corner of my eye.

Liu Yifei, her mother.

Today, under the command of her mother and the video guidance of her aunt, Liu Yifei's image has been maximized.

She calls herself a loser and usually wears shabby clothes except when she is required to dress as required during filming. But this time, she wrapped her body in a tweed coat, paired with a beige sweater and a brown skirt, a brown corset and short boots.

It not only shows your figure, but also highlights your appearance.

Your figure isn’t plump or curvy enough?
It doesn't matter, as long as the face is in place.

"Mommy, I'm meeting Yang Mi, not on a blind date... Is that necessary?"

Liu Yifei frowned and muttered to herself.

Liu Xiaoli, her mother who was always with her, was much calmer. "What's wrong with meeting Yang Mi? Don't you have to dress up? Besides, don't you have that little guy named Pei Ran?"

"What do you want to see Pei Ran for?"

"What if he likes you and wants you to star in his movie? Xixi, mommy has no bad intentions. This is all for your own good. Look at the Forbes Chinese Celebrity List that was released a few days ago. You're not even on the list this year!"

"If I don't want to be on the list, then I won't be on it... I have been on the list from 05 to 10." Liu Yifei complained in a low voice.

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace." Liu Xiaoli said earnestly, "Besides, you are already unable to receive any good notices. This little guy named Pei Ran has made two very successful films in a row. Didn't the heroines who starred in his films become instant hits? The simplest example is right in front of you, Yang Mi!"
