The final scene of Chapter 267
"Add... so many more?"
Yu Zheng stopped breathing and said subconsciously.
"Mr. Gao, this budget is overflowing and we don't know where to spend it!"
General Manager Gao snorted coldly, glanced sideways at Yu Zheng, and uttered an extremely "outrageous" request:
"Money isn't for you to squander."
"I only have one request: during post-production editing, please maximize the amount of Jiang Baizhi's scenes!"
"For every scene where she appears, color grade it frame by frame!"
"From head to toe, everything must be professionally retouched to the highest standards!"
"I want every viewer to feel like they're witnessing a miracle when they watch her, understand?!"
Yu Zheng was stunned, and after a long while, he nodded with wild joy:
"Got it! Got it, got it, got it! I promise I'll cut Teacher Bai Zhi into the one and only true god of the Han Dynasty!"
Yu Zheng was secretly laughing hysterically.
This doesn't look like an investor at all.
This is practically sending betrothal gifts to Jiang Bai, and incidentally, giving this director a mountain of gold!
then.
This led to problems during subsequent filming.
The look in the eyes of all the staff members changed.
Their gazes toward Jiang Bai were no longer those of someone looking at a beautiful actress.
It's no longer the way I look at a treasure girl, the girl next door.
Instead, they were watching.
The entire cast and crew.
The only one.
Big Daddy!
.......
that's it.
Time flew by amidst the pleasant days and the occasional banter with Zhang Yan.
October 7th, the last day of the National Day holiday.
The morning air at Kyoto Film Studio carries a faint chill, with glistening dewdrops clinging to the tips of the leaves.
On days like these, most people are busy returning home or lounging at home enjoying the last days of their vacation.
Jiang Bai had already arrived at the film and television city early and stepped into the "Beauty's Rival in Palace" crew for the last time.
Good morning, Teacher Bai Zhi!
"Good morning, Miss Jiang! I heard you finished filming today? Oh dear, I'm so sad to see you go."
The staff's enthusiasm remained undiminished throughout the journey.
Even because he was leaving, many of the stagehands had a touch of melancholy in their eyes, like that of Lin Daiyu.
Jiang Bai nodded politely in response, feeling not a trace of reluctance, but rather great joy.
He no longer has to see Teacher He!
Yay! Hooray!
However, compared to Jiang Bai's elation at being "released from prison," the "Zhang Yan villain" deep in his mind was in an extremely strange state at this moment.
"Hehe... Haha..."
[Zhang Yan (dancing gracefully in her mind's eye): "Hurry up, Jiang Bai! Be quick! Put on your best makeup to brighten your complexion, and wear the shiniest headdress! I'm almost done filming! Once filming is finished, I can go back and see General Zhou!"]
Jiang Bai had just unscrewed his thermos and taken a sip of warm water when he heard this and almost spat it out.
"Big sister, are you crazy?"
Jiang Bai asked, completely bewildered.
"Filming's wrapped up means your character is done for. Which general will you go back to see?"
"Go back to the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago? Or go back to the system?"
[Zhang Yan, the petty man (arrogantly): "Hmph, I have my own clever methods. Anyway, I'm going back to see my general. This is something only soulmates can understand; a boorish man like you who only knows how to eat would never comprehend it!"]
Jiang Bai: "......"
This feeling of being "despised by his own personality" made him really want to apply for a "personality formatting" package from the system.
"Commander, she just said 'Going back to see the General.' Could it be that she's planning to force me to commit suicide for He Shengming when filming wraps up?"
Jiang Bai touched his neck, feeling a bit scared.
[Ding! Zhang Yan's personality is retained in "role experience". Her so-called "going back" probably refers to falling asleep in your memories.]
"That's good, that's good."
Jiang Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing he was asleep!
Finally, I don't have to listen to Zhang Yan's nagging anymore.
.......
At 9:30, the final scene officially began filming.
This scene is Zhang Yan's last words before her death, and it is also the most tragic moment for the entire character.
For this scene, Jiang Bai brought her master-level makeup skills to the extreme.
Anyone who saw it would feel that their death was imminent.
Jiang Bai, who was originally aloof and ethereal, was now lying on a specially aged hospital bed, his face pale and his lips bluish-black.
Lin Xinru, sitting opposite, had also put on her "old age makeup," with her temples frosted white and her eyes full of the vicissitudes and reluctance that come with the passage of time.
"Little White, are you ready?"
Yu Zheng walked over with the script in his hand, his tone unusually serious.
"This scene is your farewell performance, and also the sublimation of the soul of the character Zhang Yan."
"Your eyes can't just hold the look of death; they also need to have... that last bit of lingering attachment to this world."
Jiang Bai nodded slightly, his clear, cold voice tinged with a sickly hoarseness:
"Director, I understand."
He silently added in his mind:
"Of course I understand. After this show, I'll get my million-dollar payment. This kind of 'greed' is practically etched into my DNA."
.......
With the command "Action!" given, filming officially began.
The lights dimmed, and wisps of smoke rose from the incense burner.
Dou Yifang grasped Zhang Yan's hand with trembling hands, tears silently streaming down her face.
"Yan'er......."
Jiang Bai lay on the couch, his eyes unfocused.
His chest heaved violently, as if each breath was exhausting all his strength.
He spoke haltingly, his mastery of dialogue reaching its peak at that moment:
"In my life... having you... having General Zhou... I'm already very content..."
Dou Yifang was in tears, her voice choked with sobs, barely able to speak:
"Don't say anymore... please don't say anymore... you'll get better."
"I wonder... if there is reincarnation... so we can meet again..."
When Jiang Bai said those words, according to the script, he should have slowly closed his eyes and let his hand slip to the side of the couch.
But in that very second...
Jiang Bai's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a strong sense of unease arose spontaneously.
Not right.
Something's very wrong!
From the time I joined the crew this morning.
The "Zhang Yan villain" that usually kept me talking non-stop in my head hadn't made a sound since those two sentences I said this morning.
In the past, whenever He Shengming appeared within a ten-meter radius, it was considered a threat.
Zhang Yan, the little person, would definitely be jumping up and down and screaming in her mind, clamoring to grind ink for the general and straighten his hat.
But now.
He Shengming stood at the entrance of the side hall, dressed in a general's armor, his emotions prepared, waiting to enter with a sorrowful expression.
But Zhang Yan's effigy still didn't appear.
Jiang Bai's sea of consciousness was completely silent, without the slightest movement!
Zhang Yan, that villain, has been taken offline early?
