If it was someone else, even if they had nothing to do with Chen …
Chen would be willing to help.
But Yang Guo was different.
He had betrayed Chen. No one could deny that.
It was Yang Guo's own promise. He had promised Chen one thing.
Even if he had rejected him, Chen wouldn't be so angry.
At most, he would extort some benefits from Zhang Tianyi and the matter would be over.
But Yang Guo had thrown himself into his enemy's arms.
Chen couldn't accept that.
Now, Zhang Tianyi wanted him to take care of Yang Guo like a child.
Did he have nothing better to do?
Therefore, Chen rejected Dao San's request without hesitation.
Zhang Tianyi had called Chen a few times before, but Chen rejected him without hesitation.
This time, Chen wouldn't give Dao San face either.
Moreover, it wasn't a matter of face.
Chen was already being merciful by not throwing Yang Guo into the sea to feed the sharks.
Chen had to stick to Yang Guo's cold butt?
Dao San sighed. His body turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
He wasn't surprised by Chen's rejection.
It was just a test. He didn't have much hope in the first place.
Chen returned to his fishing post and continued his cultivation life.
Beep!
Just then, a car horn sounded outside again.
Chen's face darkened. Anyone who honked at his door was someone he knew.
As expected, the butler system told Chen who it was.
"Hi, Chen." James was standing in front of the door with a smile.
Chen's smile stiffened. The butler had told him that it was James.
However, he didn't tell Chen that James had brought a motorcade.
"Are you planning to move?" Chen stared at James with a dark expression.
He didn't understand what James was planning.
It seemed like James wanted to do something in his house.
But he didn't tell Chen beforehand, right?
"Chen, do me a favor. My new movie is about to be released, but it was rejected by the production company during the screening. The market research isn't ideal either." James looked at Chen bitterly. "The production company wants me to reshoot some scenes and re-edit them in two weeks. Some of the scenes require a mansion. I've already found a mansion and signed a contract with the owner. I was planning to go there to film, but the owner stood me up. I had no choice but to bring the crew to you." Chen Zhao looked at James with a bitter expression. "You're right.
"You're going to shoot a movie in my house?" Chen finally understood why James didn't tell him anything.
He planned to cut the Gordian knot and bring the crew over first, then pretend to be pitiful.
However, he had to admit that his method was indeed very effective.
He was quite familiar with James. Now that he was in trouble, he needed help.
Chen Zhao really couldn't say no.
"How long will it take?" Chen asked.
"Not many, just a few dozen shots, and all of them are in the living room and the garden. There's no need to use other parts of your house, and it should be done in one night."
Chen had been involved in filming before, so he knew that a few dozen scenes weren't a lot.
A movie might have thousands or even tens of thousands of shots.
Even after editing, there would still be two to three thousand scenes left.
So, a few dozen shots really weren't a lot.
The time needed to shoot dozens of shots was only a few hours.
However, the most troublesome part was the set. It would take at least twice as long.
In other words, it would take at least a day for the set to be set up, filmed, and wrapped up.
"Chen, I'm begging you. This is my second movie. If I mess it up, I'll be done for. I'll have to go to San Fernando Valley to film."
"Fine, fine. I'll tell Fali." Chen finally relented. "Also, give me a close-up shot of my beer brand for one second."
"Sure, no problem." James was overjoyed.
Chen went into the house and told Fali.
"Fali, James needs help now. I've already promised him. What do you think?"
"You already promised him. How can I say no?" Fali rolled her eyes. "Whatever. We'll stay at Mingyue Villa for a few days."
Don't look at what James said. They only needed the scenes in the living room and yard.
In fact, if he had other ideas, he would have other requests.
Should he cooperate or not?
Also, even if it was just the scenes in the living room and yard …
It would be difficult to stay in the two days of filming.
Would the children at home delay the filming?
Or would it affect the family's rest and entertainment?
So, temporarily changing places was the best choice.
"Okay." Chen nodded. At the same time, he had the children return to their rooms to pack up. They would stay at Mingyue Villa for a few days.
Chen went out to talk to James again.
"James, Fali, the kids, and I will stay at Mingyue Villa for a few days. I'll leave Mirror Lake to you. Also, you've obtained the third level of authority in the butler system."
"Thank you … Thank Fali for me too," James said gratefully. "Oh, can I borrow your car?"
"Sure. I won't take the keys with me, but don't damage my car," Chen reminded. "If you're tired, you can find an empty room to rest, but I don't want other people to stay in my house."
"Of course. I promise you that I'll love your house as much as my own. After I'm done, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Also, when will the movie be released?"
"It was originally scheduled to be released on February 14th, but now the producers are very dissatisfied with my edited version, so it may be delayed." James sighed, although he was considered famous now.
Although he was famous now, many people in Hollywood said that his fame was the peak.
His next movie might fall from the peak.
So, James urgently needed a second movie to prove himself.
"Your second movie is a romance?"
There shouldn't be any genre other than romance that could be scheduled for February 14th, Valentine's Day, right?
"Yes. Didn't you pay attention to my new movie? The trailer of my new movie has been out for a while. "
"Err … I've been a bit busy," Chen said awkwardly.
"Okay, but you definitely have to watch my new movie."
"Okay. As long as it's suitable, I'll bring my family to support your new movie."
If James' new movie was G-rated or PG-rated, Chen would bring his family to watch it.
G-rated movies were suitable for all ages. PG-rated movies had some violence and nudity, but it wouldn't affect the sensory experience of minors.
