Chapter 305: Saving the Paranoid and Vengeful Business Leader 49
The next day, Ji Xingyan sent his family driver to drive an extremely inconspicuous business car, and arrived at the ancient costume film and television base with Xue Shuran.
In order to avoid being photographed, Xue Shuran got off the car first and quickly disappeared behind the gate of the film and television base.
Ji Xingyan waited in the car for a while before getting out alone.
Since Ji Xingyan had informed Zheng Ming in advance, Zheng Ming had also sent crew members to meet him at the gate early on, so Ji Xingyan entered the ancient costume film and television base very smoothly.
Under the guidance of the staff, Ji Xingyan quickly arrived at the shooting site.
At the shooting site, the staff were busy in an orderly manner. The members of the photography crew were concentrating on adjusting the angle of the camera, and the lighting technicians were hanging lighting fixtures high above the scene, carefully creating the atmosphere of the scene.
"Mr. Ji!" A warm call suddenly came from behind Ji Xingyan.
Ji Xingyan slowly turned around and saw Director Zheng walking towards him with big strides and a smile on his face.
"Mr. Ji, your presence here today really brings honor to my crew." Zheng Ming said with a smile.
Ji Xingyan smiled slightly, "Director Zheng, you don't have to be so polite. I just came to see your filming progress."
Zheng Ming knew that the filming progress of a mere movie was not something that Ji Xingyan needed to worry about and come to visit on a weekday. Ji Xingyan came to visit now, definitely to see his sister Xue Shuran.
However, he knew it but didn't say it out loud. After all, the relationship between Xue Shuran and Ji Shuyan was still a secret in the circle for the time being.
So Zheng Ming said to Ji Xingyan, "Mr. Ji, why don't you go sit in the VIP lounge first? This morning we're filming the second male and second female roles in the movie. The first male and first female roles will probably start filming in the afternoon."
As Zheng Ming spoke, he prepared to lead Ji Xingyan towards the VIP lounge.
Ji Xingyan waved his hand gently, "Director Zheng, I won't go to the lounge. I came here today to observe the filming process up close and experience the working atmosphere of the crew."
Zheng Ming was slightly stunned at first, but he quickly understood Ji Xingyan's intention. As Xue Shuran's brother, it was natural for Ji Xingyan to want to know more about his sister's working environment.
So he turned to a staff member and said, "Xiao Tang, please help me put a small stool next to where I'm sitting."
However, Ji Xingyan once again declined Zheng Ming's kindness, "No need, Director Zheng. I'll just stand by and watch. There's no need to make any special arrangements for me. You guys can do your own things and don't worry about me."
Zheng Ming saw that Ji Xingyan didn't want to be disturbed, so he didn't insist anymore. He said, "Okay, Mr. Ji, please feel free to do as you please. If you need anything, please let me know."
Ji Xingyan nodded slightly and replied softly, "Thank you." Then he slowly walked to the side and continued to look at the busy set alone.
Zheng Ming also returned to the back of the camera and sat on his own little stool.
At this moment, Zheng Ming suddenly remembered something. He pulled over a staff member next to him and asked, "Xiao Wu, did you call the carpenter to fix the loose stairs yesterday?"
Xiao Wu, who was called out at the side, felt a tightness in his heart when he heard Zheng Ming's words.
After the filming ended yesterday, a crew member carrying a camera came over to tell Director Zheng that the wooden stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor showed signs of looseness.
After Director Zheng found out, he specifically instructed him to find a carpenter to come and repair it.
But when he went to look for the carpenter yesterday, the carpenter was not there.
He had originally planned to come over earlier today to look for a carpenter, but he forgot about it the moment he got home and spent the night there...
Only when Zheng Ming suddenly asked him about it did he remember it again.
If I tell Director Zheng now that he's forgotten about this, he'll definitely be furious...
After all, the actors are ready now. If we call a carpenter to repair it now, the progress of the morning may be delayed.
So Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. He replied sheepishly, "I've looked for it. The carpenter has already taken a look and he said it's fine."
After hearing Xiao Wu's reply, Zheng Ming glanced at Xiao Wu doubtfully and replied, "Really?"
Xiao Wu was so shocked by this question that he almost broke out in a cold sweat. He carefully raised his eyes and glanced towards the stairs. He saw that several photographers were already carrying their equipment upstairs. Nothing had happened. So he continued stubbornly, "Yes, the master said there was no problem."
"Okay." Zheng Ming withdrew his suspicious look.
Coincidentally, Wen Yang and Liang Runcheng also came out after putting on their makeup.
Wen Yang was wearing a gorgeous red dress, with her hair tied up high, and her bright and delicate makeup made her particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
Liang Runcheng was wearing a black brocade robe. The makeup artist made his facial lines tough and clear. His eyes were sharp and determined, and there was a hint of unattainable nobility between his eyebrows.
The two stood together, the colors of their clothes forming a sharp contrast, one red and one black. One was a dazzling brothel dancer, and the other was a court official with a mysterious identity.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, he attracted the attention of everyone present, even Ji Xingyan was no exception.
Seeing that the main actors had finished their makeup and came out, Zheng Ming stood up and clapped his hands, then shouted to Wen Yang and Liang Runcheng, "Alright, you two, hurry up!"
Then he said to all the staff on the scene: "Come on, get ready, start shooting now!"
Zheng Ming gave the order, and Liang Runcheng stepped onto the second floor in two or three steps.
Since Wen Yang was wearing a skirt, she could only walk up to the second floor one step at a time.
However, just as she was halfway up the stairs, a "creaking" sound suddenly came from the stairs under her feet.
The next second, the wooden staircase beneath Wen Yang's feet suddenly broke apart...
