This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 148 The Spiritual Person

However, although the umbrella holder didn't say anything, Liu Hongyu knew that he could still find out some things from other places, such as the Qi family.

After all, they are a large family that has supported umbrella bearers for many generations, and they have a very deep connection with the nameless senior, so they must know something.
-
In late August, modern China was in the height of summer, and the entire south was shrouded in heat.

Donghai Film and Television City is also like a big furnace, but the many crews working here are unwilling to stop for a moment.

The incident at the beginning of the opening of Donghai Film and Television City has long passed. Because of the compensation in place and the agreement to open all facilities, and the fact that the film and television city has not had any safety issues since then, no one will criticize it for that incident anymore.

On the contrary, the film and television city is still as prosperous as the Liu Group and the Donghai Municipal Government expected, with continuous applications from film crews in the past two months.

Although none of the TV series or movies shot in the film and television city have been released yet, some promotional videos of the film and television city and publicity campaigns by some crews have already been released.

Donghai Film and Television City has become a regular feature in many film and television magazines at newsstands, and even some TV stations have featured related short films.

Moreover, so many crews and many famous directors have specifically mentioned Donghai Film and Television City, which is enough to explain the problem, so the film and television city’s schedule is very full.

On this day, Qi Yucheng came to Donghai Film and Television City again, but this time he was not the only one who came, nor was he accompanied by Qi Chenfeng alone.

The Liangliang bus stopped at the parking lot outside the film and television city. Then the door of the bus opened and many people, led by Qi Yucheng and several other elders, got off. Qi Guoliang, who is now the representative of the Qi family on the board of directors of the Liu Group, could only swim in the crowd.

A total of about a hundred people from the Qi family got off two buses.

At the same time, Lu Hui, who had already received the news, also hurriedly ran out of the office area with several staff members.

There are also many rest areas in antique buildings next to the parking lot of the film and television city, including places such as newsstands and small supermarkets, and many people gather in these places.

At this time, you will see a bus stopping and people rushing to pick it up, and the people gathered in these places will immediately start chatting.

"Which crew is here again?"

"No, it's just a bus. There's no prop car or logistics vehicle. Are there only actors?"

"Hey, you don't understand, don't you? Props and other things arrive first, and then the crew members come later. I've been here for a month and I've seen them many times!"

As they were talking, someone with sharp eyes recognized Lu Hui and was suddenly startled.

"Hey, which important crew is this? Why is Director Lu already out to greet them?"

"Ah? Which Director Lu?"

“Which other one?”

While they were chatting animatedly over there, Lu Hui on the other side had already received the Qi family. He greeted many of them and personally acted as a tour guide, leading the group to the entrance of the film and television city.

Qi Yucheng was still sitting in a wheelchair, moving forward surrounded by his family while listening to Lu Hui's introduction.

Qi Chenfeng asked the same question when he saw many people outside in the distance.

"Are all those people over there from the crew?"

A staff member beside Lu Hui hurriedly started to explain.

"Of course not. With the popularity of film and television studios these days, crews often need extras when they're short on talent. Initially, they mainly looked for people from places like art schools and university towns. Later, some people went directly to nearby villages to ask for help. Gradually, more people gathered around to be extras, so now some crews rarely travel outside and just look for people nearby."

"The film and television city is very busy now. Most of the people there are crew members and extras from outside. Tourists are a small minority."

The people from the Qi family nodded slightly, and Qi Guoliang smiled and said something to Lu Hui beside him.

"No wonder the Donghai Municipal Government treats you like such a treasure. You're boosting economic indicators, creating jobs, and promoting the city. If I were in your shoes, I'd have to support you too!"

"Alas, what's Mr. Qi saying? It's all because of the group's strategic vision. I'm just lucky, lucky."

During the conversation, the Qi family entered the film and television city one after another, just like a specially cared-for tour group with priority access. However, their purpose was naturally not to travel, and their only goal was the Linglong Pagoda.

After entering the film and television city, it was actually more lively than outside. Various crews occupied every corner of the film and television city to shoot scenes. Because they had already greeted each other, the utilization time of many scenes was precisely calculated, and after shooting a section, they had to exchange with the crew next door.

The Qi family had walked such a long way that many of them were already sweating a lot, and the people in the crew would only be busier.

"The Linglong Pagoda is just ahead. There's a crew filming right now, but they'll be having lunch soon. If you guys are impatient, I can tell them to stop immediately!"

Lu Hui said this.

Qi Guoliang looked at Qi Yucheng and the elders, most of whom shook their heads, and then he said to Lu Hui with a smile.

"Director Lu has worked hard, and we don't need any special treatment. It will be enough for us to wait until they serve the meal."

"Ah, thank you for your understanding, thank you Mr. Qi for your understanding, let's go over there and rest!"

Every building in the film and television city is useful. For example, the several teahouses and restaurants next to the flagstone square are actually run by real people. After being contracted out, they are operated according to their original functions, such as restaurants, teahouses, and even inns.

Accompanied by Lu Hui, the Qi family went to two nearby teahouses to rest. With over a hundred people, plus the crew and actors already there, the two teahouses were packed. Some even asked which crew they were from, only to discover they were actually there to offer sacrifices, accompanied by Lu Hui, which left some people stunned.

The Qi family drank herbal tea and chatted while looking at the exquisite pagoda and the filming crew in the distance.

Obviously, filming in Donghai Film and Television City is mainly about costume dramas. Under the tower over there, there are soldiers fighting with others, and blood-stained men and women running to escape into the Linglong Pagoda.

Many people also watched the filming process for the first time, which was very interesting. After all, the man and woman in this section had been running back and forth more than a dozen times. Every time they had to fall into the tower and roll a few times before looking at each other affectionately, but the scene was cut off with the director's shout of "cut".

"Click——"

A director stood up holding a loudspeaker and rushed to the front of the Linglong Pagoda angrily. Looking at the male and female protagonists lying on the ground, he was so angry that he yelled at the man's head with the loudspeaker.

"Master Wei, you are of royal and noble blood, and you learned martial arts among the common people. How come you look like you haven't eaten? You are seriously injured, but your limbs are not broken—"

"This is your beloved, you have to protect her, protect her, protect her, do you understand? It's not a big deal if you fall, but it will be heartbreaking if she falls. When she falls, hold her waist. Don't take your eyes off her. Hehe, hehe, hehe."

After the director finished yelling, he was out of breath, his face and body covered in sweat. The male protagonist who was yelled at also covered his ears. I don’t know if he was numb from being yelled at so many times, or if he didn’t hear it at all.

Someone on the side rushed forward to comfort the director, fanning him and giving him some summer medicine.

"Director, calm down, calm down. Here, some Huoxiang Zhengqi water."

"Replace me as soon as possible. What's wrong with the second male lead? I can find someone to replace you right away—"

The director also had a falling out today. He drank a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water and turned back to curse angrily.

"Director, calm down. After all, we are investors. It's time to serve dinner."

The director said nothing more and left in anger, cursing as he left, saying that the filming period for Linglong Pagoda was very precious and the emotional scenes that took place there had to be finished as soon as possible.

The man and woman who had fallen to the ground had been helped up. The man also had an unhappy look on his face, but he didn't say anything in the end.

When he returned to the rest area, the man enjoyed the fanning of others, took a sip of ice water, and immediately took out his mobile phone to make a call.

As soon as the phone was connected, the person on the line spoke in a teasing tone.

"What, you can't stand it anymore? But someone came to me to complain before you did. Didn't you say you didn't want to act in idol dramas anymore? Didn't you say you could handle the technical style of ancient costume dramas?"

The man really couldn't stand it anymore.

"Change it to a mythological theme, a fairy tale. I want to shoot a fairy tale. Fairy tale dramas have had high ratings in recent years. Or a movie would be fine too!"

"Oh my superstar! With that kind of aura, how can you play a fairy hero? Do you know how to play a deity? Look at the two films "The Immortal" and "The Demon Hunter" that came out a while ago. Both are mythological themes. The latter was a huge box office hit, but the actor in the former was criticized so much that his reputation was completely ruined!"

"I can do that too!"

"What's the point of being scolded? Big star, you're just a guest star in this crew, just deal with it first, as for wanting to play the leading role in a mythological drama..."

The man shouted into the phone.

"I'm serious this time!"

There was silence on the other side of the phone.

"Oh? Serious again? Well, let's put it this way. After this crew is finished, I'll arrange martial arts and equestrian lessons for you. You have to endure the hardship first and have that charm. Also, it's not easy for me to arrange you to join this crew now, so don't get angry at me. We agreed that you should finish the filming peacefully, otherwise..."

"elder brother"

The man wanted to say more, but the call was hung up. He was so angry that he almost threw the phone, but in the end he was afraid of what he had just said and did not act too willfully.

After a long time, the man looked up. Outside the parasol was the scorching sun. The weather was too hot today. However, from this angle, the exquisite pagoda seemed really beautiful, with a feeling that the sunlight was rippling on the pagoda and forming a halo.

At the teahouse over there, the Qi family watched a great show. The older generation didn't think much of it, but the younger generation thought it was more exciting than just watching a movie. It was rare for ordinary people to see a director scolding a star.

However, at a corner table on the second floor of the teahouse, Gao Ran and Sun Yao were drinking tea and eating snacks while looking at the exquisite pagoda.

Now the Linglong Pagoda is basically fully open, and there is no need for the two to stay there all day long. After all, the pagoda has been strengthened twice by the Master.

So the two of them have been strolling around the film and television city recently. There are so many people wearing ancient costumes here, so there is no need to change clothes. Even if someone else asks, they can just say they are on a film set. What's more, there are a few insiders like Lu Hui to take care of them, so they feel very comfortable.

However, their eyes were now frequently looking at the male star who had just been scolded.

"Hey Gao Ran, your spiritual perception is stronger than mine, do you think he is..."

“Hmm, it seems to have some spiritual feeling.”

The two looked at each other again while talking.
