252: Old Chen, what brings you here?

Seeing this, Wang Baoqiang declined once more.

Hearing his words, Zhang Songwen frowned and said, "If you don't accept it, I'd be too embarrassed to take your local specialties."

Hearing this, Wang Baoqiang had no choice but to accept.

They chatted for about half an hour when Zhang Songwen suddenly asked, "By the way, Baoqiang, are you going to start filming a new movie soon?"

Hearing this, Wang Baoqiang immediately nodded.

"Yes, the boss told me before the New Year that we'd be filming a new movie," Wang Baoqiang said with a smile.

"Sigh, I'm a bit envious of you. The boss has prepared another new movie for you; I wonder when he'll prepare one for me to film," Zhang Songwen said with some emotion.

"It'll happen, Teacher Songwen. Maybe in a year or two, there'll be a new movie for you," Wang Baoqiang said with a laugh.

"I hope so. Anyway, let's not talk about that. Let's have some tea," Zhang Songwen continued with a smile.

After their chat, Wang Baoqiang went back.

After the New Year, Chen Le came to the company.

Since it was a new year, he still needed to show his face at the company occasionally.

Otherwise, the company employees might not even recognize him as the boss.

When Chen Le arrived at the company, Wang Baoqiang walked into his office carrying a bag.

"Boss, these are some local specialties I brought back," Wang Baoqiang said, handing the bag of local specialties to Chen Le.

"Thank you, Baoqiang. That's very thoughtful of you," Chen Le said immediately with a smile upon seeing the specialties.

"You're welcome, Boss. By the way, when does the new movie start filming?" Wang Baoqiang asked curiously.

"It's still early. The filming location hasn't been finalized yet, and once it is, it'll still need to be set up. The earliest we'll start is probably in a few weeks," Chen Le explained.

Hearing Chen Le's words, Wang Baoqiang nodded and said, "Alright, Boss, then I'll head back first."

With that, Wang Baoqiang left the office.

After Wang Baoqiang left the office, Chen Le took out his phone and called Assistant Director Zhao Sheng.

He told him the filming location for the new movie and asked him to go there in advance to set up the filming site.

Having rested for a long time, Zhao Sheng immediately prepared to book a flight and set off to arrange the filming site for the new movie upon hearing Chen Le's request.

The filming locations for the detective chinatown series were mostly overseas, which was quite troublesome.

Fortunately, detective chinatown 1 was filmed in Bangkok's Chinatown, Thailand.

This was his second time filming a movie in Thailand.

Zhao Sheng was initially very surprised to hear that the filming location was in Bangkok's Chinatown, Thailand.

However, he simply did whatever Chen Le said.

Moreover, he was fairly familiar with Bangkok, Thailand, having the experience of filming lost in thailand there before.

This time, setting up the filming location in Bangkok's Chinatown would be much easier.

Zhao Sheng spent a week traveling to Bangkok, Thailand.

Having the previous experience of setting up a site in Thailand, Zhao Sheng didn't spend much time on it this time.

It took only a week to get the filming site ready.

Meanwhile, while Zhao Sheng was busy setting up the site, Chen Le arrived at the filming set of the legend of zhen huan.

the legend of zhen huan had been filming for several months, and just after the seventh day of the New Year, production resumed.

Director Xu Gang was incredibly busy, his feet barely touching the ground.

But this was profitable work; the sooner they finished filming and released it, the sooner they'd make money.

Chen Le arrived at the Film Crew of the legend of zhen huan; the last time he visited was when filming had just begun.

As soon as Chen Le reached the entrance, the staff recognized him.

After all, he was the boss; anyone in the company could be unrecognized, but not the boss.

Thus, the staff did not notify Director Xu Gang.

Chen Le hadn't told him in advance either, intending to give him a surprise.

Walking into the set, filming was still in progress.

The actors were performing diligently on the filming site.

Chen Le immediately spotted Director Xu Gang standing behind the monitor, focused intently on the screen.

Director Xu Gang no longer had the youthful innocence of his university days; he had become mature and steady.

Not only that, but he had also put on quite a bit of weight.

He already had a somewhat sturdy build, and now that he was a director, he spent all day cooped up with the Film Crew.

Even after filming, he would just stay at home, lounging around.

Let alone exercising, he rarely even went for a walk.

This caused him to become a bit pudgy.

And he hadn't even reached middle age yet.

Chen Le walked toward Director Xu Gang with light footsteps.

Director Xu Gang didn't hear him at all.

It wasn't until he noticed the staff member beside him suddenly look back that he curiously turned his head as well.

As a result, he saw Chen Le at a glance.

Seeing Chen Le, surprise and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

“Holy crap, Old Chen, why are you here?” Director Xu Gang's voice was full of surprise.

“Haha, the New Year just ended, so I came to see you,” Chen Le said with a laugh.

In his hand, he carried a small bag containing local specialties brought by Father Chen and Mother Chen.

“Hey, what's in your hand? Something good? For me?” Director Xu Gang asked curiously upon noticing the small bag in Chen Le's hand.

“Yes, these are local specialties my parents brought; I brought some for you,” Chen Le nodded with a smile.

“Oh, first time! I've never received local specialties from you before,” Director Xu Gang said, somewhat surprised.

“I didn't bring much before; it would be gone after giving it out, and you wouldn't get any. Today, my parents brought over 100 catties. They brought so much that there's a share for you,” Chen Le explained with a smile.

“Fine, fine, fine. I only get a share if you bring a lot, I only get a share if you bring a lot, right?” Director Xu Gang widened his eyes and spoke with mock sadness.

“Nonsense. When are you going to bring some local specialties for me?” Chen Le felt like rolling his eyes at him but didn't.

“Oh, it's not that I don't want to; it's just that my family doesn't really have any local specialties,” Director Xu Gang immediately complained upon hearing this.

“Alright, alright. I won't make it hard on you,” Chen Le waved his hand.

A smile immediately appeared on Director Xu Gang's face at Chen Le's words.

Then he reached out and took the local specialties from Chen Le's hand.

“Hey, get back to filming your scene,” Chen Le laughed helplessly at the sight.

“It's fine, it's fine,” Director Xu Gang quickly waved his hand.

“By the way, is the filming going smoothly?” Chen Le suddenly asked.

“Smoothly, of course it's going smoothly! I've gotten the hang of it. The progress this time is definitely faster than when we filmed living buddha ji gong,” Director Xu Gang said with a smile.

“Good. Film as fast as you can, provided quality and quantity are maintained. There will be many more tv series for you to film in the future,” Chen Le nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

Afterward, Chen Le watched Director Xu Gang film.

Watching Director Xu Gang's skillful directing, Chen Le felt quite satisfied.

Over the past few years, Director Xu Gang had made great progress, and his improvement was rapid.
