Three days later, in a bar in Las Vegas.

Guests drank and chatted, some playing billiards, some fiddling with old coin-operated song machines, and some singing cacophony on the small stage......

Next to the jukebox, two more cameras were shooting at one corner of the bar, one after the other.

Every member of the crew is already in place.

Peng Yichen carefully checked the composition and lighting of the camera's viewfinder.

He shouted at Natalie, who was already dressed as a man in the corner of the bar, "Natalie, lean a little to the right......"

As he spoke, Natalie leaned back, letting her face completely submerge into the bar's scarlet neon lights.

In the camera viewfinder, her originally soft facial contours have become a little weird and cold due to makeup and lighting.

There was no longer a trace of femininity on her face, and it completely changed into a cold, desperate man's face.

The other extras in the bar are also in their places.

Peng Yichen raised his head and left the viewfinder, sat back opposite Natalie, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's start!"

This is the main and final play.

After filming, the film is officially finished.

“action！”

The assistant director shouted, and the whole crew told it to run.

Peng Yichen walked into the camera with a bottle of wine from outside the camera with great ease.

He sat down across from Natalie and placed the wine in his hand in front of her.

"That's our bet, as long as your story makes me feel incredible. This bottle of wine is yours. With some cynicism, Peng Yichen smiled and smiled at Natalie in front of him.

But in his eyes, everyone could see that he didn't believe in Natalie's story at all, and he was able to feel any surprise. Especially in him at this time, the charm of a mature man who has gone through the vicissitudes of the world makes the hearts of all the women in the crew beat faster.

Natalie, on the other hand, looked at the bottle of wine with a complicated expression on her face at this time.

The expression seemed to be a memory, a sweetness, a sadness, a hatred......

She took the bottle of wine in her hand, played with it, and smiled: "Then your bottle of wine must belong to me." ”

Peng Yichen said noncommittally: "Hehe, your story hasn't been told yet! If it's just the story of the so-called illegitimate child." That certainly doesn't surprise me. ”

Natalie's face calmed down, she dropped the wine on the table and began to tell her story indifferently......

Soon, the filming of this scene was over.

Peng Yichen stepped aside and played it back through the monitor to check the performance just now.

He was very happy with his and Natalie's performance.

For more than a month, Natalie and his opponent have been filming more and more, and the collision and chemistry between the two people are getting better and better.

In that scene, neither of them made any big moves.

Just relying on their subtle expressions, eyes, and tone rhythm changes, they made the charm and characteristics of their respective characters extremely full and vivid in their gestures.

The unwed mother played by Natalie, at first glance, knows that she is a person who has experienced too many things at a young age.

The male protagonist played by Peng Yichen also makes people feel the sense of fate that has gone through the vicissitudes of life and the mature charm of seeing through the world.

"CUT! It's over, it's very exciting! This shot, there is no way to shoot it better!" Peng Yichen shouted to everyone in the crew with a smile.

Everyone knows what he means by that.

The movie is finished!

A month and a half, it seems like a very short time.

In fact, the difficulty of filming this movie was not very complicated in the first place.

The brain-burning plot can only be reflected after the post-editing is done.

And at the time of filming, in fact, the movie could have been very simple and finished.

In Peng Yichen's previous life, he heard that this movie actually took less than a month, and it was all filmed.

However, under his strict attitude towards Natalie and his own performance, as well as the demands on every shot.

During the filming process, all the crew members were tense and engrossed, and they didn't dare to make any mistakes.

Therefore, when it was time for the completion of today, everyone completely let go of their tense nerves, and they all jumped up with cheers to celebrate the end of the filming of this movie.

It's as if they've been on the crew for a year.

Peng Yichen knows how much pressure everyone has endured and how much effort they have put in this month.

Therefore, he did not stop everyone from celebrating and laughing unbridledly.

After everyone calmed down a little, he smiled and announced loudly: "Tonight, I invite everyone to Caesar's Palace and have a good night, and all the expenses will be borne by me!"

"Long live the director!"

"Director, you're amazing!"

"I love you director!"

……

Peng Yichen watched everyone laughing and playing, feeling a little satisfied, but also a little reluctant.

Because he will hold a press conference at the Caesars Palace Hotel tomorrow to officially announce the news of his one-year retirement.

The post-editing and production of "Former Destination" did not take too long.

It is expected that the press conference will be completed in a maximum of 15 days.

However, he will return to Los Angeles to complete these post-work.

As for the announcement and premiere of the movie, he will not participate.

On March 11, after the Oscars are held, he will take Yu Jing and his daughter back to live in Dali, China.

Spend a year of long vacations there, wait for her daughter to be weaned, and then return to the film industry.

You know, since he traveled to this world, almost all of his time has been devoted to movies.

In just 6 years, he has made a total of thirteen movies and three TV series.

As a director and starring in ten movies and one TV series.

This kind of workload, not to mention compared with those directors and actors who make a movie in two or three years, is not much better than that of a fast gunner like Wang Jing.

What's even more terrifying is that all of the movies and TV series he has filmed, except for an idol drama that has just debuted, have all become classics.

No one knows how this young man has achieved his current achievements and status in more than six years.

People just regarded him as a miracle, a genius, and held him high on the altar.

But no one knows how many lives and deaths he has experienced in the plot world, and how many worlds he has tasted.

If it weren't for the experience in the plot world, he would have been temporarily sealed, and he might have become mentally ill a long time ago.

Thinking back on the experience of the past few years, Peng Yichen was a little fascinated for a while.

That was until Natalie came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, big director, everybody cleaned up." Let's go, let's go to Caesar's Palace for a good night. You're not reluctant to pay for us, are you?!"

Peng Yichen came back to his senses at this time, looking at the scene that had been cleaned up, and couldn't help but complain in his heart about those field workers and drama workers, I usually don't see you so fast. Today, when I heard that I had a treat, it all became so neat.

He smiled and said loudly to all the crew members who were waiting for him to make a statement: "I'm not the kind of person who is stingy. As long as you don't gamble, all your expenses tonight will be mine. ”

"Someone pays, why are you still stunned. Let's go now!" Natalie smiled and waved her hand, and took the crew into the car and left.

made Peng Yichen, who was still standing in place, cry and laugh.
