219: Chapter 219, "If Heaven Has Feelings," filming wrapped.

"Sorry, Director Du, I zoned out and didn't hear you call cut."

Director Du Qiyu wanted to kill him: "Was it zoning out and not hearing, or being too focused to hear?"

"..."

Lin Chuyan had nothing to say.

After finishing the intimate scenes with great difficulty, the group changed clothes and moved to the street to shoot the remaining gunfight scenes.

Lin Chuyan originally thought this part would take longer, but it was surprisingly easier than he imagined.

An hour later.

"Is that it, Director Du?"

"Oh, not quite. But you guys aren't needed for the remaining shots; it's just some cutaway shots. Don't worry, I've got it covered."

"Alright, I'll wait for your news, no rush."

"Yeah, I'll have someone edit it for you; it won't take long." Director Du Qiyu seemed to remember something. "Oh right, I'll have the extra footage edited too. Whether you post it or not is up to you; consider it a gift."

Lin Chuyan was a bit confused: "Extra footage? Is there a lot?"

"Just the parts where I called cut, but you couldn't stop."

"... Got it."

By the time he, the lead actor, finally finished, the entire crew was already waiting.

Lin Chuyan was quite happy: "Director, we actually finished in less than a month. Hehe, awesome."

Director Mu Sheng was grinning from ear to ear: "27 days, haha, all thanks to everyone!"

However, he wasn't happy just because it saved time and money—this was the first feature film he had officially directed in his life, which meant a great deal to him. His mood at this moment was something outsiders couldn't understand.

Uncle Da and the others chimed in from the side: "Director, is that all you have to say? Just that after a whole month? Say a few more words."

"Alright, I'll say a few more." Director Mu Sheng was also a bit excited. "First, of course, I have to thank Director Du and Director Wang, for giving me this opportunity; I am deeply grateful."

Director Du was Director Du Qiyu, and Director Wang was Director Wang Jiahui.

Director Mu Sheng had previously been an assistant director for Director Du Qiyu, so this director role came a bit suddenly. It was a project set up by so many big shots, and after much mutual deference, it was suddenly assigned to him?

It was no different from a pie falling from the sky.

If this film had good box office numbers, his future opportunities would naturally increase.

"Next, I want to thank Nickname, Xiao Jun, and Uncle Da." Director Mu Sheng looked at them. "I don't need to say much about Uncle Da; I'm not surprised he acted well. As for Nickname's Acting, I've witnessed it this time; I can only say it's well-deserved, and he lives up to his reputation as one of the top young actors in the mainland. Although Xiao Jun is a complete newcomer, her Acting was unexpectedly good. Needless to say, I hope we have opportunities to work together in the future, and I wish everyone the best."

After thanking all the staff, Director Du Qiyu began calling everyone for a group photo. Seeing Ruan Xingyu, he extended an invitation: "Xingxing, you come too."

Ruan Xingyu shook her head and refused: "Director Du, it's your crew's wrap photo; it wouldn't be appropriate for an outsider like me."

She stood far away and refused to go over no matter what.

Having worked for many years, she knew exactly what should and shouldn't be done.

Director Du Qiyu might not care, because from his perspective, taking a group photo together was fine.

But Ruan Xingyu put herself in others' shoes—would Zhou Shiyun like it?

The female lead, having her spotlight stolen right at the wrap-up—how disgusting would that be?

There was no need, really no need. The wrap photo for the crew of "a moment of romance" had nothing to do with her.

One must have a sense of propriety in their words and actions.

Soon, the official Weibo account for "a moment of romance" posted.

"#Film a moment of romance Wraps# Our Wah Dee and JOJO have finally immortalized their love story on camera. Thanks to all the partners in front of and behind the scenes; you are the ones who filled this work with life and emotion. The film is about to enter the next exciting stage; looking forward to seeing everyone in the cinema! #a moment of romance#"

Attached was a wrap photo.

In the photo, Lin Chuyan smiled brightly, but looking at the whole crew, besides him, everyone only recognized Uncle Da.

This lineup...

If you call it luxurious, the female lead is a newcomer, the director is a newcomer, and the male lead is starring in his first lead role after his comeback.

If you say it's not good, the executive producer is Director Du Qiyu, the script planner is Director Wang Jiahui, and there's Uncle Da supporting Lin Chuyan...

Netizens were curious, teasing, or arguing; everyone had something to say.

"Uncle Da is doing well now, he can even film with Lin Chuyan [Dog Head]"

"So this film will be released in the mainland, right?"

"Would they hire Lin Chuyan as the male lead if it weren't being released in the mainland? Let's put it this way: tool person + traffic actor, responsible for carrying the box office in the mainland market."

"I accept the 'traffic' label, but why is someone still labeling Lin Chuyan a tool person? Do you not watch any of his film and television works? If you don't need your eyes, you can donate them."

"Traffic carrying the box office? Haven't seen "assassination"? Feng Liqian smiles without saying a word."

"So angry, talk about Lin Chuyan if you want to talk about Lin Chuyan, why drag Feng Liqian into this? My Idol didn't offend anyone!"

"I know "a moment of romance", what does a moment of romance mean?"

"a moment of romance is the English title of the film? "A Romantic Moment"?"

"Checked it, seems like it really is. Good, good, good, Teacher Zhang Acting in a romance film, I'm looking forward to it!"

"Haters, get lost! Don't you dare buy tickets to watch it, get as far away as possible!"

"666, Lin Chuyan, having fans like you is amazing; driving away the audience before it's even released, hilarious!"

Lin Chuyan also posted on Weibo. A repost.

But he didn't repost this wrap-up Weibo; he reposted Ruan Xingyu's.

His girlfriend took such good photos of him; he really liked them.

Moreover, this photo could be considered a behind-the-scenes shot. In the photo, he was wearing a denim jacket, sitting on a motorcycle; it was very fitting to post on the day of the wrap.

Repost, edit text.

"Because of "a moment of romance", I fell in love with motorcycles. Controlling a heavy motorcycle, the engine roaring, the wind whistling in my ears, I seem to have gained a new kind of freedom. My heartbeat accelerates with every turn of the throttle, and every gear shift is filled with the pleasure of control. In front of the camera, I am not just Acting, but experiencing a brand new adventure. Every time I start the engine, I can feel that power surging at my fingertips. This is a tacit understanding with the machine, as if the motorcycle has become a part of my body, leading me through the streets and alleys of the city, or chasing the horizon on an open road. Thanks to the "a moment of romance" crew, thanks to Director Mu Sheng, thanks to Executive Producer Du, thanks to Uncle Da. Anti-troll: I know how to ride, but I don't have a motorcycle license; I'll take the test later. I have obtained a temporary permit under professional guidance and completed the filming under strict safety measures and supervision."

Click post.

"What are you doing?"

Ruan Xingyu asked from the side.

"Posting on Weibo..."

"Let me see!" Ruan Xingyu took out her phone.

"You can just look at my phone."

Lin Chuyan handed her his phone.

"Oh, right."

Ruan Xingyu saw that he had reposted her Weibo, and couldn't help but smile: "You are so rigorous, that last part."

"Used to it, anti-troll, you naturally start noticing these details when you're always guarding against them..."

If he hadn't added that part, he didn't even need to think about it; people would definitely have brought it up.

Ruan Xingyu turned her head to look at him: "So, are you promoting the film, or do you really like motorcycles?"

"Really like them. The nanny van is comfortable to sit in, but I'm not driving it after all. The feeling of riding a motorcycle is completely different; it's really cool."

After Lin Chuyan finished speaking, he suddenly realized something: "If I like it, I'll just buy one myself!"

"Too late, I already know."
