Island Tycoon

Chapter 523
Chenglong's refusal of his solicitation was completely within Ye Jingcheng's expectation.It was originally a question of probing, so he naturally considered what the result would be.

The atmosphere became a bit awkward, and the two had no other topics to talk about.Cheng Long put his feet up and planned to get up, but after thinking about it, he sat back down.

He has already refused this matter very politely, the purpose is not to break Ye Jingcheng's line.To put it bluntly, in case he can't stay in Jiahe, at least he can choose another path.

"Boss, are you here?" Fortunately, the appearance of Hong Jinbao broke the deadlock in time.Only then did Cheng Long find an opportunity to leave, nominally to help a few juniors, so as not to disturb their conversation.

Looking at the figure of Cheng Long leaving quickly, Ye Jingcheng asked Hong Jinbao casually, "How is the progress of the crew?"

"The filming has been going well these few days, about 30% of the whole film." Hong Jinbao said with a sigh.

"It seems that the first resource for the summer vacation is none other than you." Ye Jingcheng seemed to be joking.

According to the current progress of "Five Lucky Stars", the filming of the remaining scenes can be completed in half a month at most, plus a few days for post-production, and it can be put on the screen in theaters on the 24th and [-]th.

This date coincides with the liberation of the students, and there will definitely be a lot of gains to the box office by then.

"It's all under your care, Boss, otherwise I wouldn't have come up with the production plan." Hong Jinbao flattered.

He knew that he couldn't hide Ye Jingcheng's thoughtfulness, so he didn't deny it outright, but gave back the credit or profit to Ye Jingcheng like playing Tai Chi.

The reason why the crew was able to push the overall progress to 30% in a few days.The reason is not that the filming process was smooth, but that the crew and actors worked overtime to barely reach the progress he wanted.

After all, "Five Lucky Stars" couldn't come up with a specific script from the very beginning of filming, and often had to act on the spot, or draw materials from the suggestions of the actors, in this way to improve the skeleton of the entire movie.

The reason why Hong Jinbao was in such a rush was simple. He thought that the film "The Lame Man" might hit the schedule with his "Five Lucky Stars", or he didn't want "The Lame Man" to be released before "The Five Lucky Stars".

Hong Jinbao didn't know the specific quality of "The Lame Man", but the most important thing was that this movie was produced by Qingdeng Entertainment, and the script was written by Ye Jingcheng himself.

If the two names are released at the same time, at least in the early stage, there will be a large audience willing to pay.If it doesn't work hard at the end, it won't have much impact on "Five Lucky Stars", which will be released later.

Once the movie "The Lame Man" is successfully released, it indicates that it will be released for a longer period of time.

In this way, the successive filming of "Five Lucky Stars" will also be postponed. If "The Lame Man" is more popular than "Prison Storm", then "Five Lucky Stars" will not even have the chance to make this year's summer vacation.

He couldn't discuss this matter with Ye Jingcheng, because the relationship between the 'Chengbao' movie and Qingdeng Entertainment was between the sub-parent company and the upper and lower levels.

If "The Lame Man" and "Five Lucky Stars" hit the same current issue, he has no reason to let the parent company give up the schedule to the subsidiary company, right?In this case, his approach to Ye Jingcheng was not to discuss, but to make trouble for no reason.

In order to avoid the same schedule for the two films, he had no choice but to start from his own crew, and push through the entire filming plan of "Five Lucky Stars" as soon as possible.

Of course, the pursuit of film shooting efficiency will somewhat affect the quality of the film.However, Hong Jinbao still believes that the behind-the-scenes team can at least use the plot of the movie to balance the quality.

Ye Jingcheng didn't bother about this matter. To be precise, Hong Jinbao thought too much. Although "The Lame" is only launched two days later than "Five Lucky Stars", the release schedules of the two films will never collide.

Blue Lantern Entertainment’s emphasis on the quality of the production is not to be mentioned. You must know that the entire "Five Lucky Stars" is only one and a half hours long. More than two hours.

For the extra shots alone, "The Lame Man" took at least a week longer than "Five Lucky Stars", and there were also some background layouts and modifications. The time to complete the two will only increase.

So even if Hong Jinbao didn't catch up with the shooting, the release date of "The Lame Man" would not be ranked before "Five Lucky Stars".

Talking about some shooting issues of "Five Lucky Stars", Ye Jingcheng guessed that the content of this movie is roughly the same as the original "Five Lucky Stars".

As for some unavoidable modifications, it is presumably due to the improvisation of the actors and directors, but it does not affect the overall view of the movie.

At this time, Zhong Chuhong, who was touching up her makeup on the makeup van, tidied up her costume and walked over, casting an uneasy glance at Ye Jingcheng in the process.

"Boss, Ah Hong still has a set of shots to shoot, if you have something to do, why don't you make up for it next time...?" Hong Jinbao didn't finish his sentence, but tested Ye Jingcheng's meaning.

The next shot is the last group of this scene. If Zhong Chuhong is willing to finish shooting before leaving, it will not only save time, but also allow them to save one scene.

"I'm fine, we'll talk after the filming." Before Ye Jingcheng could speak, Zhong Chuhong groaned and said, "If someone wants to wait, just wait, if he doesn't want to wait, just leave."

Forehead!Hong Jinbao turned his attention to Ye Jingcheng again, he didn't dare to think that Zhong Chuhong was so capricious.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the time on the watch, and said with a smile, "Let's finish shooting first, anyway, I have time today."

"Alright then." Hong Jinbao nodded.

It would be best if Ye Jingcheng was willing to wait. This would not only delay the shooting progress, but also shorten a lot of time.

"Okay! The rest time is over." Afterwards, Hong Jinbao picked up a loudspeaker and urged all the members of the crew: "The whole world is in place, ready to shoot immediately."

"Ah Hong, wait a minute..." Taking advantage of the time when the crew assembled, Hong Jinbao began to act with Zhong Chuhong.

As the director of "Five Lucky Stars", he also has to play the leading role.It stands to reason that the red envelope gold should be called suffering and tired, but now he is not tired of it.After all, the release of a movie means that he can become more popular and make more money.

It’s just that the next few shots didn’t go very smoothly, and some of them had to be NG for five or six shots, let alone the shots that were NG more than ten times and could still be finished.

Although Ye Jingcheng was willing to wait for them to finish shooting this group of shots, Hong Jinbao did not dare to make him wait too long, especially when he saw Ye Jingcheng checking the time, he thought Ye Jingcheng was waiting impatiently instead of understanding it as The opponent's habitual actions.

……

This set of shots is not too much, but it still took nearly three hours to complete the shooting.

"Boss, Ah Hong has finished shooting today's scene, you can go and enjoy the world of the two of you first." After speaking, Hong Jinbao did not stay to disturb Lianren, and turned around to start shooting again.

Zhong Chuhong still looked at Ye Jingcheng uncomfortably with her hands in her hands.The latter pulled her over and sat on his lap.Asked: "Why, I don't seem to have offended you?"

"You are busy with affairs, so you don't know if you offend someone." Zhong Chuhong said angrily.

Ye Jingcheng let out a long "oh", then asked after a sudden realization, "For example?"

"For example? For example, you are a dead head." Zhong Chuhong turned her face away, and then turned to the topic: "Let me ask you, do you know a woman named Chen Yulian?"

"Her?" Knowing that Zhong Chuhong was jealous here, Ye Jingcheng gave an ambiguous reply, "I guess we know each other."

"If you know it, you know it. If you don't know it, you don't know it. What does it mean to know it? Is it perfunctory?" Zhong Chuhong asked.

Ye Jingcheng spread his hands, looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and said, "Well, I don't know her well."

"Yeah, you are not familiar with her." Zhong Chuhong made a grimace, and said fiercely as always: "You are not familiar with others, so if you give 100 million, if you are familiar with her, will you still have sex with her?" ?”

"Help if you can." Ye Jingcheng touched his nose, which made people look like he was guilty of guilt.

Chen Yulian is interesting to some extent. If you say that he helps others out of good intentions, he may not be willing to help another person.It's just that he was busy some time ago, and Chen Yulian was not a proactive person, so the two of them temporarily disconnected.

Zhong Chuhong looked Ye Jingcheng up and down, as if she felt that his personality could not be guaranteed, or that after getting along for such a long time, she already knew what kind of person Ye Jingcheng was.

"I don't see you taking the initiative to help other people? I think you are just greedy for their beauty." At the end, Zhong Chuhong complained: "Nothing to be courteous, either rape or steal."

Ye Jingcheng coughed dryly twice. Zhong Chuhong understood his character, so he naturally understood Zhong Chuhong's actions.It seems that she is very angry now, but in fact, it is more to give him a step down.

Many times, a woman would rather her man cheat her than know the truth.Especially in Ye Jingcheng's situation, it's impossible for him to devote himself to a woman.

"Now the public is public, please save face?" Ye Jingcheng admitted defeat.

"To save face?" Zhong Chuhong raised her powder fist as a gesture, and threatened: "Is hitting you twice enough to save face?"

"Okay, okay, I'm not sincere enough to set aside a day to accompany you today?" Ye Jingcheng suppressed Zhong Chuhong's offensive and signaled the other party to calm down.

"Who said I want you to accompany me? Sister, I have a lot of people to ask." Zhong Chuhong jumped up as if she was furious, and said angrily: "If I don't beat you into a pig's head today, I won't be able to swallow my breath."

After finishing speaking, he swung his fist towards Ye Jingcheng, but it was a punch that looked tough but soft, and was caught by Ye Jingcheng before it even landed.A reverse Zhong Chuhong was forced to sit on Ye Jingcheng's lap with her back on her back, her hands were firmly pressed on her neck.

"Let go of me." Zhong Chuhong struggled desperately, but unfortunately she couldn't break free from the shackles.

"You can let go, don't come again."

Hearing this, Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but soften her tone, and said, "Let go of me first."

"You're still here!" Who knew that just as Ye Jingcheng let go, Zhong Chuhong looked menacing again.

"Come on, I'm afraid of you." Zhong Chuhong bared her teeth, wishing she could teach Ye Jingcheng a lesson.

There was no other way, Ye Jingcheng had no choice but to restrain her again.After several lessons, Zhong Chuhong finally calmed down.At least it wasn't as soon as Ye Jingcheng let go, she pounced on to 'desperately' again.

After finally coaxing Zhong Chuhong into the car, Ye Jingcheng asked while driving, "Where do you want to go later, for dinner or to watch a movie?"

"I'm full enough seeing you, do I still need to eat?" Zhong Chuhong said displeased.

The strength Zhong Chuhong displayed was completely to cover up her inner fragility, the more unflattering she was, the more proof she lacked confidence.Ye Jingcheng didn't care about it either, he shook his head and laughed and said, "Then let's go to the theater."

"Go to Huangdu Theater in North Point." Ye Jingcheng told the driver.

After ten minutes' drive, the vehicle stopped in front of the Royal Theater.The name of the Huangdu Theater, an independent building, has actually become a thing of the past.

It was acquired by Ye Jingcheng more than half a month ago, and merged into Nanguo Cinemas to become one of the five leading theaters.

The refurbished Huangdu Theater has taken on a new look. The theater originally only had 1600 seats, but after expansion, it has an additional 900 seats.The whole independent 'flying buttress' building has also become its symbol.

The geographical location is also superior. Even though the current economy is generally not good, there is still an endless stream of people entering and leaving the Royal Theater.

Ye Jingcheng came here this time to take a look at the property while accompanying Zhong Chuhong to the theater.

The two walked into the theater and randomly picked a "Modern Miscellaneous" to enter. There are really no good movies recently. The major film companies are probably preparing for the summer vacation, so during the period before the summer vacation, there are many releases. It is the producer of some satellite companies.

However, the quality and plot of this "Modern Miscellaneous" are already considered good, otherwise it would not have passed the review of Nanguo Cinemas.At least compared to those really bad movies, it can make the audience laugh.

With the current development and scale of Nanguo Cinemas, it is no longer necessary to find some movies to fill up the spare time in theaters as it did in the beginning.

Naturally, Nanguo Cinemas has its own set of screening requirements.For example, those films whose box office is expected to be only a little over 100 million, whose quality is not good or are not favored, Nanguo Cinemas will not waste resources to release them.

It's just that this "Modern Miscellaneous", which is considered excellent at present, did not relax Zhong Chuhong who watched the whole process at all.

"Isn't it pretty?" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help asking.

"Just think about it." Zhong Chuhong said without curiosity.

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Jingcheng asked hesitantly.

Immediately, Zhong Chuhong stared at him, Ye Jingcheng secretly thought that it was related to him, and he should not have asked what it was, so Zhong Chuhong would be sulking for a while at most, but now there is a chance for Zhong Chuhong to take the opportunity to attack.

Sure enough, Zhong Chuhong's next words left him at a loss as to how to respond.

"When will you marry me?"
