Chapter 310 Ten Billion in Liquidated Damages!
However, just a street away, there stood a vastly different structure, a grandiose imperial harem, clearly a set dedicated to ancient-style filming.
"Husband, Xiao Wan is coming out!"
Ye Qingqing suddenly grabbed Song Yun\'s clothes and exclaimed excitedly.
Song Yun looked and saw Xiao Wan wearing a cheongsam from the Republic era, her slender waist seemingly graspable with a mere hand, and the cheongsam itself was extremely form-fitting, perfectly outlining the feminine curves!
"Husband, I want to wear that too!"
Ye Qingqing whispered in Song Yun\'s ear.
"That won\'t do, wife. Look how tight the cheongsam is around the abdomen, and there\'s still a baby inside your tummy."
"I\'ll wear it just for you to see~"
"That still won\'t do. If your mom and Yang Yingying knew about it, they would chase after me to give me a beating..."
Although Song Yun really wanted to see what his wife would look like in the cheongsam, the thought of his mother\'s feather duster genuinely scared him.
Now, Bai Qiu was controlling Song Yun to prevent him from doing things that would provoke public outrage. If there was any noise in Song Yun\'s room at night, it wouldn\'t be three seconds before a knocking sound would be heard.
Song Yun, not wanting to let his thoughts wander further, shifted his gaze away from his wife.
Huh! Ouyang Jie, that kid, was actually drooling! That\'s freaking disgusting!
Suppressing the urge to kick the other man, Song Yun said, "Bro, I know my sister-in-law is beautiful, but you\'re showing it a bit too obviously, aren\'t you? What if you scare Xiao Wan, then you\'ll cry!"
"Big Uncle, I swear in my life I won\'t marry anyone but Xiao Wan!"
Ouyang Jie wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and said earnestly.
The conversation between the two men greatly entertained Lu Guan, who was listening nearby.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The reshoot was quickly finished, and just as Xiao Wan was about to change out of her costume and remove her makeup, the lead actor, with a frown on his brow, expressed his dissatisfaction, "Director! I think the tension in this scene isn\'t quite enough!"
"Oh? Then tell me how to improve it."
The bearded director asked casually while sitting in front of the camera.
"Director, in this scene I\'m rescuing Xiao Wan from the enemy\'s clutches. Considering her straightforward character in the drama, I think it would be better to reshoot a scene in the alley where she takes the initiative to kiss me. It would more truly reflect the character!"
After the lead actor finished speaking, the bearded director nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, this addition could add more depth, and since Xiao Wan had never filmed a kissing scene on screen before, this would be her on-screen first kiss, a gimmick that could potentially attract a lot of traffic!
"I think it\'s doable. Xiao Wan, get ready, we\'ll shoot this scene immediately!"
The bearded director ordered.
Upon hearing this, Song Yun\'s face darkened. He looked at Lu Guan with dissatisfaction and said, "Didn\'t I say so? Xiao Wan can\'t take parts with a large degree of intimacy, nor bed scenes or kissing scenes!"
Lu Guan felt wronged inside. He had read the script, which was all very positive. How come it suddenly changed on set?
"Director Song! I\'ll go and negotiate now!"
Lu Guan, furious, found the director and said, "Director Chen, wasn\'t this scene absent from the script?"
"Ah, it\'s Director Lu."
Chen Chen lit a cigarette and replied with leisure, "It\'s all for the sake of art. I believe that once Xiao Wan breaks through this barrier, her future in the industry will shine even brighter!"
"No matter what you say, this scene absolutely cannot be added!" Lu Guan stated emphatically.
Chen Chen felt slightly irked by the statement, touched his ear displeasedly, and said, "Director Lu, you seem to be much too concerned about this young actress. Could it be that you..."
"Bullshit, don\'t you spew nonsense here!"
Lu Guan hastily disassociated himself, thinking that with the big boss around, if there was any misunderstanding, he wouldn\'t have enough lives to make amends!
"Look at you, getting all flustered." Director Chen said in a calm and unhurried manner, "This suggestion was made by the male lead, Wu Xun. Why don\'t you go and tell him to shut his mouth?"
Lu Guan looked visibly angry at the director\'s buck-passing tactic.
He knew all too well that the financial backer behind Wu Xun was not someone to be trifled with—get them angry and they might just scratch your face!
"What\'s the matter, is handling such a small issue too difficult for you?"
Song Yun strolled up and asked.
Before Lu Guan could speak, Director Chen glanced at Song Yun, and after seeing a stranger, he coldly said, "No strangers are allowed in! Sir, please leave now, or I\'ll have to call security!"
"Chen Chen! This man is Mr. Song, the big boss behind Tianyu!" Lu Guan said seriously, "Xiao Wan is Mr. Song\'s cousin!"
After hearing this, Director Chen finally looked at Song Yun earnestly and said, "Xiao Wan is a girl with great potential. If she can accept some kissing scenes, I can guarantee she\'ll win the Best Actress award this time next year!"
"We don\'t need that."
Song Yun said indifferently, "The script should be shot as it is, we do not agree to adding scenes on our own!"
"Then you will have to discuss that with Wu Xun, I can\'t afford to offend his financial backer."
Director Chen shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
"What, that kid has a big backer?"
Ouyang Jie asked with a menacing look in his eyes.
What the hell, he hadn\'t even gotten together with Xiao Wan, and this little bastard wanted to film kissing scenes with his goddess??
If it weren\'t for the fact that he hadn\'t confirmed his relationship with Xiao Wan yet, he would have thrown a punch already!
"Heh, whether they are big or not, they are not someone I can provoke."
Director Chen spread his hands, looking utterly helpless, suggesting they either shoot the scene or persuade the male lead.
"Wait!" Read exclusive adventures at empire
Ouyang Jie quickly walked up to Wu Xun, and looking at this cream-faced pretty boy lounging in the chair, he said coldly, "Just now you mentioned adding kissing scenes with Xiao Wan, we disagree!"
"Who are you?"
Wu Xun said irritably, "I\'m including kissing scenes to promote her, you understand? There are countless people in this world who would dream of sharing such a scene with me, and I can\'t be bothered with it!"
"Well, we just won\'t shoot, what can you do to us!"
"Not shoot? Fine, pay the penalty fee! This film\'s investment is over a billion in total. Pulling out at the last minute or not following the crew\'s arrangements requires compensation ten times the loss! If you think you\'re rich, go ahead and stop Xiao Wan from shooting."
"I\'ll be damned..."
Ouyang Jie\'s eyes widened and he raised his fist high.
But Song Yun stopped him—an incident here could attract some onlookers to snap photos and, with embellished stories posted online, the situation could blow up.
Just as they were at a standstill, an Audi A6 slowly pulled up to the side.
Normally, outside vehicles were not allowed into the film base, but when everyone saw the license plate on the A6, they instantly understood.
The financial backer behind Wu Xun had arrived!
