Chapter 389 Female Celebrities Don’t Want to Be Cannon Fodder 11
Chu Yuan read the script and found out that it was a story about a female protagonist who, in order to avenge her family, lurked beside the male protagonist as a musician and waited for the right opportunity. In the end, she succeeded in deceiving the male protagonist and then killed him with a knife.
The story was well-written and the ending was very satisfying. Chu Yuan was quite interested in the play, so he asked Xia Yu to invest some money in the production company and then play the leading female role herself.
It just so happened that Chu Yuan had made some money in the stock market recently. Although he couldn't be said to have become rich overnight, he still had tens of millions in his hands.
For a low-budget web drama like this, a few million dollars of investment would be the limit. With such a huge amount of investment coming in all at once, the producers didn’t know how to spend it, so they made sufficient budgets for set design, costumes, props, etc.
This was the richest battle they had ever fought. The entire crew was working hard and encouraging themselves to do their best for the play, otherwise they would not be worthy of the money in their pockets.
Chu Yuan is happy to see this kind of atmosphere. Everyone is working for the good of the show, and a good broadcast effect in the end will also bring her a great bonus.
So in the next two months, Chu Yuan spent most of his time in the new crew.
It is worth mentioning that after learning the news that she was going to join the crew, Chu's father and mother all put down what they were doing and came to the crew to take care of her daily life.
Their original purpose of coming to East City was to accompany their daughter, so of course they put her first in everything.
As Chu Yuan's agent, Xia Yu also arranged an assistant and a bodyguard for her. She originally wanted to hire a driver for Chu Yuan, but Chu's father volunteered to take on this task.
In the more than one month since arriving in Dongcheng, while his daughter was busy, he and his wife were not idle either. Now both of them have passed the automatic driving test. Chu's mother even learned how to make nutritious meals from someone else, all in order to provide logistical support for her daughter when she joins the crew to film.
So during the period after she joined the crew, Chu's father and mother stayed with her in a hotel near the crew every day. When it was time to eat, the two of them would bring insulated lunch boxes filled with nutritious meals to the filming location to deliver meals to her.
Chu Yuan was very happy living this kind of life where she had nothing to eat. She had originally been worried that her parents, coming from a distant town, would not be able to adapt to life in East City.
Unexpectedly, the two of them adapted so well that they even found a small square near the hotel. Mother Chu even danced ballroom dance with the dance team there every night.
At first Chu's father thought it was nothing, and he supported his wife to develop her own hobbies. However, after watching it once, he found out that this so-called ballroom dance actually required a man and a woman to dance while hugging each other.
How could he sit still? So he simply joined the dance team with Chu's mother. The two of them now became a very harmonious dancing pair.
Chu Yuan didn't know about this at first. She spent most of her day studying the script and filming. Although it was a web drama with only twelve episodes, it was the first drama she had actually filmed since she came to this world.
Therefore, Chu Yuan put 200% of her energy into it, determined to present this character well, or at least to reverse some of the original owner's reputation and let the audience see her strength.
However, when the dinner, which was supposed to be delivered at 6:30, appeared on her table half an hour early, Chu Yuan realized something was wrong.
So she called her assistant Xiao Zhang over and carefully inquired about her parents' whereabouts during this period. After learning that they delivered meals so early in order to catch the first dance show every night, Chu Yuan silently accepted this time adjustment.
At the same time, she also realized that she had really neglected her parents recently.
It just so happened that today's filming went very smoothly, so Chu Yuan decided to finish work early and go home to have dinner with his parents.
It was a rare occasion for the family of three to sit together like this. Mother Chu didn't even dance, and Father Chu even bought some wine and drank it happily.
After spending a warm night, Chu Yuan continued to devote himself to his intensive work. The scenes in the studio were almost finished, and then he would go to the next city to shoot some real scenes, and then it would be almost time to wrap up.
Chu Yuan received the news that "Good Night World" was scheduled to start filming in 25 days. The two jobs could almost be said to be seamlessly connected, with little time to rest.
Chu Yuan didn't feel tired at all. This was the nature of the job. He earned a salary far higher than an ordinary person, but of course he also had to work much harder than an ordinary person.
She just couldn't bear to let her parents follow her around. It would be fine if they stayed in Dongcheng, but now she had to go to the next city to film a movie, and soon "Good Night World" would have to be filmed abroad. Chu Yuan couldn't bear to let the old couple follow her back and forth.
Especially since Chu's mother still had an old injury on her waist. Although the original owner had taken her to have surgery before, she would rather avoid doing too tiring work if possible.
It would be best if she asked them to wait for her in Dongcheng while she went out to shoot. Then she could leave her assistant Xiao Zhang behind to take care of the old couple, so that she could feel at ease.
When Chu's father and mother heard the news that she was going abroad for filming, their first reaction was to stay in Dongcheng. The main reason was that they had never been abroad, and they didn't want to be unable to take care of their daughter and cause her trouble.
Anyway, they have now adapted to life in Dongcheng. It’s true, this big city is a big city with so many fun places.
Chu's mother recently learned how to take photos from a group of old sisters who danced with her, and they visit various parks in East City every day to take pictures of the scenery.
Chu's father got to know a few fishermen and was also led into the trap. Sometimes they would set out to fish by the river before dawn and would be gone for most of the day.
Chu Yuan expressed his satisfaction with the changes in his parents. He even spent a huge amount of money to sponsor a camera and a fishing rod for his father and mother respectively to encourage them to pursue their hobbies.
Anyway, she made a small profit from the money she recently invested in the stock market, probably close to nine figures. Even though it won't make a big difference, it's better than nothing.
As soon as she got the money, Chu Yuan invested in several entertainment projects, especially several popular film and television dramas mentioned in the original book, in which she got involved in the name of her studio.
It's not about making money, it's mainly about making the studio famous in the circle and transforming from being the chosen one to having the right to speak.
For ordinary stars, no matter how high their net worth or how famous they are, whether they are used or not is just a matter of words from the investors. With Chu Yuan's current status, he cannot choose roles at will.
So she decided to find another way. If others didn't choose her, then she would choose others.
So in the following years, netizens were surprised to find that the name Chu Yuan Studio was always listed as the producer of several hit dramas.
Of course, this is all later story. Today is the day Chu Yuan joins the crew of her new drama. Before joining the crew, she has already added the WeChat accounts of several leading actors, all of whom are currently popular young actors and actresses. The male lead is played by Wu Zihao, an actor who debuted as a child star. It is indeed a good lineup.
However, there was one thing that Chu Yuan did not expect. A week ago, Chu Yuan got the second half of the script.
It turns out that in the story of "Good Night Worldwide", the relationship between the male and female protagonists also went through some twists and turns, and it was Xiao Xun, an important supporting actor in the play, who caused these twists and turns.
And in the script, in the column for the actor who played Xiao Xun, Xu Ci's name was clearly written.
