Lion Rock Film and Television Base, the former site of Faen Temple.
The set, which had been quiet for a few days, became lively again. The tarpaulin covering the props was pulled away, and expensive high-definition digital cameras were set up again. Sound recording, lighting, art, makeup …
The crew members all seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and they were all busy in high spirits.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" was being reshot!
Ever since the opening ceremony of this movie, the mood of the crew members had been on a rollercoaster. At one time, everyone was in a panic and thought that they were going to be dismissed. Now that the clouds had cleared, everyone was naturally happy.
Nowadays, the competition in Xiangjiang's film and television industry was extremely fierce, but the market share did not increase. Many people in the industry could not find suitable jobs, so they had no choice but to change careers, or go to the mainland, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea to find opportunities.
It was undoubtedly very difficult to change careers after being used to a familiar job, and the road outside was even more difficult when people were away from home.
Therefore, everyone cherished their current job opportunities. Most importantly, as the main investor of the film, Lu Chen, was kind and generous, so they would not suffer losses working with him.
Therefore, when faced with the pressure from Honghua, they all persisted and did not choose to quit.
Their choice was undoubtedly correct. When they received the notice of the reshoot in the morning, everyone rushed to the set as soon as possible. Without Chen Wenqiang's command, they took the initiative to complete the work before the reshoot.
When Lu Chen arrived at the Faen Temple set with Chen Fei'er, it was already a boiling cauldron of voices.
The atmosphere was excellent.
"This is my girlfriend …"
Lu Chen first introduced Chen Fei'er to Chen Wenqiang. "This is Mr. Chen Wenqiang, the director of the studio."
"Hello, Uncle Qiang."
Chen Fei'er generously extended her hand to Chen Wenqiang. "Lu Chen told me about you several times. Thanks to your help, he can stand firm in Xiangjiang."
Chen Wenqiang was flattered. He quickly shook hands with Chen Fei'er and said, "You flatter me. Hello, Miss Chen Fei'er. I've heard a lot about you. Young Master Lu is really lucky!"
Of course, he knew that Lu Chen's girlfriend was the famous Heavenly Queen, Chen Fei'er. As one of the few mainland stars who were popular in Xiangjiang, Chen Fei'er's news could occasionally be seen in Xiangjiang's newspapers and magazines.
However, the photos in the newspapers and magazines didn't capture Chen Fei'er's true charm at all. She didn't wear any makeup, and her beauty was natural. Every frown and smile of hers had a peerless beauty that could topple cities. She was truly dazzling.
Xiangjiang was a place that produced beauties. Every year, there would be many outstanding beauties in the Miss Hong Kong and Miss Asia selection. However, Chen Wenqiang felt that those Hong Kong sisters and Asian sisters that he had seen before were lacking in something compared to Chen Fei'er.
Wan Xiaoquan and Chen Fei'er knew each other, so they exchanged pleasantries when they met.
Wan Xiaoquan said jokingly, "Since you're already here, why don't you make a cameo in the movie?"
Chen Fei 'er and Lu Chen looked at each other. The latter smiled and said, "Director Wan, I'm going to let Fei' er play the role of Granny Dryad."
"What?"
Wan Xiaoquan and Chen Wenqiang asked in unison, "Play the role of Granny Dryad?"
The role of Granny Dryad in "A Chinese Ghost Story" was a big villain. Her image was set to be cruel and vicious, and she was full of demonic aura. That was why Liu Zhaohui had been asked to disguise himself as a woman to play this role.
Liu Zhaohui had quit the cast, and Chen Wenqiang was still having a headache over the replacement. This was because this role had very high requirements for the actor's temperament and acting skills. Otherwise, it would be easy for the actor to act out of place.
Now that Chen Fei'er was actually going to play the role of Granny Dryad, how could the two of them not be surprised?
Chen Fei'er pursed her lips and smiled. "I want to challenge myself."
This was undoubtedly a very strong reason.
Lu Chen had seriously thought about it on the way here. "This is what Fei'er requested. I think it's fine. The main thing is to modify the settings and put more effort into the special effects makeup. The effect will definitely not be bad."
His original setting for Granny Dryad was based on the original version in the dream world. Now that Chen Fei'er was going to play the role, he definitely could not follow the original version. He had to make targeted changes.
Wan Xiaoquan thought about it and said decisively, "Let's give it a try then!"
He had thought it through very clearly. First of all, Lu Chen's request could not be rejected. Secondly, Chen Fei'er joining "A Chinese Ghost Story" to play the villain, the big boss. That was undoubtedly an excellent publicity stunt and would be very helpful in increasing the domestic box office.
Finally, Chen Fei'er playing the role of Granny Dryad could make the style of the movie more diverse.
Since Lu Chen and Wan Xiaoquan had no objections, Chen Wenqiang naturally did not have any objections.
As they were talking, another group of people entered the set.
The person walking at the front was Nie Mingzhu. When she saw Chen Fei'er standing beside Lu Chen, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. Then, she quickly walked over.
"Young Master Lu, Director Wan, Uncle Qiang …"
Nie Mingzhu greeted Lu Chen and the others one by one. Finally, her gaze landed on Chen Fei'er. "This must be Sister Chen Fei'er, right?"
Lu Chen quickly introduced, "This is Miss Nie Mingzhu. She will play Nie Xiaoqian."
Chen Fei'er suddenly understood. She smiled and extended her hand to her. "Miss Nie, nice to meet you."
"It's my honor!"
Nie Mingzhu said with a smile, "You can just call me Mingzhu. I'm a fan of yours. I asked a friend in the mainland to buy ten sets of your 'Woman Flower' album for my collection. These songs are really nice!"
Her cheerful appearance was completely devoid of her usual cold and reserved demeanor. She was no different from an ordinary female fan who had met her idol. Her joy came from the bottom of her heart.
To be honest, it was impossible for Chen Fei'er not to feel the slightest bit jealous when she saw that Lu Chen had found such a beautiful female lead. However, when she saw that the other party was not shrewd at all, she felt relieved.
"Thank you, Sister Mingzhu …"
As soon as they met, the two of them became familiar with each other and talked intimately.
Their topic quickly changed from the role of the actors in the crew to the maintenance of makeup, bags, and other aspects. There was really a lot to talk about.
Lu Chen was happy with this. He asked Chen Wenqiang to gather all the staff members of the crew together.
After everyone was present, Lu Chen announced three things.
First of all, the official filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" had been resumed. All the problems that had occurred before had been resolved.
Second, the mainland's Heavenly Queen, Miss Chen Fei'er, had joined the cast to play the role of Granny Tree Spirit.
Finally, after "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released, Lu Chen Studio would take out 10% of the box office profits as a bonus and reward it to all the members of the crew according to their contribution!
When Lu Chen announced something, the crew members responded with warm applause and cheers.
In the end, the applause and cheers almost blew the roof off.
With such an atmosphere and momentum, if they still could not film "A Chinese Ghost Story" well, it would really be a sin!
