3509 Aren’t You Ashamed?

Old Mrs. Chu said, “@Old Mrs. Wei.”

Xie Jiling was not friends with these grandmas on WeChat, so she looked at Han Zhuofeng’s WeChat.

Seeing Old Mrs. Chu’s comment, Xie Jiling could not help but say, “Chu Zhaoyang is truly her grandson.”

In the morning, Chu Zhaoyang tagged Wei Zhiqian, and at night Old Mrs. Chu tagged Old Mrs. Wei.

Old Mrs. Wei said, “@Wei Zhiqian, where are you? Don’t you feel ashamed?”

Han Zhuofeng’s classmates also commented.

“Wow, the school hunk left the single life so quickly.”

“Pain. School hunk Han left the single life too.”

“The girl looks very young.”

“What a good match. Congratulations!”

There were naturally more comments on Weibo, and they weren’t necessary to be discussed.

The three brothers of the Han Family were pretty famous in the country.

After the meal at night, everyone returned to the hotel.

Han Zhuofeng did not go in Yan Zhiqing’s car. He drove his own car.

He drove back with Xie Jiling alone.

Today he couldn’t get the chance to spend time with Xie Jiling alone.

He could only use this little bit of time while they were on the way back.

He did not dare to enter Xie Jiling’s room when they went back to the hotel as he was afraid that he would not make a good impression on Xie Jiling.

On the way, Han Zhuofeng asked Xie Jiling, “When should I go back with you to meet your parents?”

Xie Jiling did not care. She was young, and her family wasn’t rushing her when it came to that department.

However, they were a little worried that she would delay her love life because of her job as an exorcist.

They were also worried that her love life would not be smooth due to her job as an exorcist.

As such, her family was still a little worried.

They were also worried that she would be tricked by people because she was young and naive.

After all, since young, other than exorcism, she did nothing but study, or else she wouldn’t have been able to enter University of B City.

Other than those two things, she hadn’t done other things in her life, so she was really naive.

Xie Jiling thought that it would be pretty good to bring Han Zhuofeng back.

This would reassure her family.

“When are you free?” said Xie Jiling, “I don’t mind; I can apply for a leave of absence any time. My house is in Lingnan, and it’s pretty far. The trip there will take a day. We have to take a flight and then drive to reach my house.”

The location of the Xie Family’s house couldn’t conveniently be reached using public transport. It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that it was located deep in the mountains.

“Now that you’re shooting a film, a day’s rest would definitely not be enough,” said Xie Jiling.

She could not ask Han Zhuofeng to free up a few more days.

After all, it would be a waste of filming money.

Han Zhuofeng thought about it and agreed. “We’re almost done shooting the entire film. After that, I can rest for a few days. Everyone has been working for so long, and we have to take a little break before going back to edit the film.”

“Approximately how long more do you have to shoot for?” asked Xie Jiling.

“Not long,” said Han Zhuofeng, “It will be almost done after half a month.”

If it was calculated starting from the preparation to shooting, Han Zhuofeng’s movie was taking a long time to complete.

He was already doing the preparations for the early stages five months before the New Year.

During those five months until the New Year, he had to use all his savings.

Luckily, every single Han Family member invested tens of millions so he could continue.

Now, it was already late Fall, and the filming would be complete after half a month, then the late stages would commence.

It was really tough.

“Can it make it in time for the Spring Festival box office?” asked Xie Jiling.

“It should be able to make it for the Spring Festival box office. The foundations of the early stages were well-done. From modeling it to shooting the film, we did it step by step. This would get rid of a lot of troubles in the late stages of the production.”

“And Brother Xiao Cai’s team is very professional. They have a lot of production experience in this area, so they avoided a lot of trial and error steps. Other than that, the submission for review would not need to wait till the whole late stages are complete. We can submit the director’s cut version first. Mainly we have to ensure that there are no areas breaking the rules and no violent or gory scenes.”

“This is a thought-provoking Sci-Fi film, so there is no violence or gore; there should be no problem with the review. Then, we just have to take a number. After all these, the cinema can show the film.”

“The Spring Festival box office is pretty competitive. There are a lot of films waiting to be released during the Spring Festival,” said Han Zhuofeng, “Actually, I’m a little worried about whether this film can compete with others or not if I were to put it under the New Year’s box office.”

“It can.” Xie Jiling had more faith in the movie than Han Zhuofeng, who was directly involved. “You shot the film with all your heart. Movies that are shot with heart, the audience will show support those motives no matter what as long as the quality is decent.”

“It’s not like the past now, when you can earn money by simply shooting a film,” said Xie Jiling, “The audience has higher expectations. The audience can differentiate between films that are made with heart and films that are made to earn money.”

“I also paid attention to movies made in the country in these two years. Movies that weren’t favored became the dark horse in the end. It was because they audience thought they were good after watching and spreading it around. They even surpassed the movies that were favored prior to their release.”

Xie Jiling looked at Han Zhuofeng sincerely. “So you have to have more faith in your own production! This is not a literary film, so it’s not hard to understand. This is a commercial film. The most important thing is to have a good plot and pacing. If it’s a special effects film, then excellent special effects should be included as well.”

“In the area of movie production, I’m an outsider. However, when it comes to watching movies, as a part of the audience, I know what I like. What I like does not represent what everyone likes, but I know what kind of movies most people would think are good.”

“Anyway, from an audience’s perspective, as long as you fulfill those three points, I think it’s a film made with sincerity,” said Xie Jiling.

“How is the plot of your movie?” Xie Jiling didn’t wait for Han Zhuofeng to answer and helped him answer. “If the plot is good and the production is excellent, how about the pacing? That I don’t know. It will depend on your videographing and editing skills.”

Han Zhuofeng smiled and said, “I think it’s good.”

“Are the special effects good? With Wei Wucai’s team here and you spending so much money focusing on the special effects, it will be hard for it not to be good.” Xie Jiling was full of faith. “So the results will definitely be good.”

“You’re right.” Han Zhuofeng nodded. “I was just too worried about gains and losses.”

“That’s because you value it too much,” said Xie Jiling.

“Indeed.” Han Zhuofeng smiled after pondering. “After listening to you, I have more faith in it now. I will fight for the New Year’s box office.”

“If it can make it and there is enough time, you can give it a try. If it can’t, don’t rush it,” said Xie Jiling.

“I won’t rush it. If it can make it, I will go for it. If not, I will change the time.” Han Zhuofeng knew that he had to be more strong-minded, especially in these times.

“Then, after about half a month, when we’re done shooting every scene, should I follow you back to the Xie Family’s home to meet your parents?” asked Han Zhuofeng.

“You’re young, alone in B City, and you’ve just started dating.”
