221: Chapter 221 What kind of advertisement is worthy of such a film crew?

Director Liu brought Qin Xun and the others into a tent.

After some pleasantries and a little red wine, Director Liu left to start filming today's content.

Qin Xun and Xia Ning sat in front of the tent, watching the scene.

Standing beside them were two tall, bulky bodyguards—Ye Lan's bodyguards.

They were currently protecting Qin Xun to prevent fanatical fans from harassing him.

The scenes for the rest of the cast of qingyun xing had already been filmed, and they were just doing some reshoots for one of Ye Lan's scenes.

This was a xianxia drama.

Ye Lan was playing the second female lead, an immortal who used a sword.

Qin Xun and Xia Ning sat in the tent, looking on from a distance.

They saw Ye Lan suspended by wires, her feet lightly tapping the surface of the river as she flew into the air, her clothes fluttering.

Suddenly, she let out a scream.

"Such powerful... sword energy!"

Her body tilted, and with a splash, she fell into the river.

"Sister Ye!"

"I'm coming!"

"Don't panic!"

A group of people immediately rushed into the water, trying to rescue Ye Lan.

At that moment, Ye Lan was hoisted out of the river like a drowned rat, water dripping from her body back into the river.

Ye Lan coughed loudly and shook her head.

Director Liu Ming's voice came over the loudspeaker.

"Damn it!"

"Are you fishing?"

"Put her down immediately."

Splash.

Ye Lan fell back into the water.

Director Liu Ming's voice was filled with rage.

"Damn it, lower her to the riverbank slowly!"

"Damn it!"

"Xiao Wang, are you stupid?!"

Qin Xun and Xia Ning exchanged a glance and chuckled softly.

"Is this a xianxia drama?"

"It feels like a comedy!"

"Qin Xun, what do you think of Ye Lan's acting?"

"Uh... I think... a dog could do it just as well."

"Be a bit more polite, her bodyguards are right here!"

"Well then... my assessment is, it's very average."

"Then why did you hire her for the advertisement?"

"Should I hire you instead?"

"Um... I can't do it."

"I can train you!"

"...I said, be a bit more polite."

"Oh! I'll be sure to next time."

Qin Xun looked across the way.

Ye Lan finally climbed onto the riverbank and was surrounded by the crowd as she headed to her tent.

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Lan walked out of the tent, having changed her clothes and dried her hair, and headed straight toward Qin Xun.

This caused a stir among the film crew gathered nearby.

"Doesn't the internet say Ye Lan has androphobia? Why is she so impatient to find Qin Xun?"

"She keeps ugly men, not handsome ones."

"Could Qin Xun be a young hunk kept by Ye Lan?"

"Qin Xun is a big boss, handsome and rich; he can earn over a million a minute. It's hard to say who is keeping whom!"

At this, someone coughed.

"Keep your voices down! You'd better shut your mouths and don't let anyone hear you!"

"Ye Lan's background is no joke. I heard that the director of the Cheng Tai Mid-Autumn Festival gala was beaten by her until he became incontinent, and he didn't even dare to let out a fart."

"It didn't even make the news, so don't court death!"

"She is enthusiastic and tolerant toward Qin Xun, but that doesn't mean she will be tolerant toward you."

Everyone was shocked and fell silent.

Qin Xun and Xia Ning sat on the lawn outside the tent, watching Ye Lan approach with a smile, but they did not stand up to greet her.

Ye Lan didn't mind; she walked up to them, sat directly on the ground, and asked, "How was my acting?"

Qin Xun gave her a thumbs-up.

"Lifelike!"

Ye Lan was stunned.

Is the word "lifelike" used to praise someone's acting?

Why does it sound so awkward?

I wasn't playing a corpse!

Ye Lan hesitated for a moment, then replied very politely, "Teacher Qin, you flatter me!"

She paused, smiled, and looked into Qin Xun's eyes.

"However, I still hope that when we are filming the advertisement, you can be strict with me."

"If there is even the slightest aspect of my performance that doesn't meet your expectations, feel free to pick up any whip on the ground and hit my palm. I absolutely won't cry out in pain."

Qin Xun: "..."

He looked up at the bodyguards standing not far away, two large men in sunglasses whose muscular physiques couldn't be hidden even by their suits.

Thinking of the Mid-Autumn Festival gala director who had been beaten until he was incontinent, he hesitated and smiled bitterly.

"I'll try my best."

The next day, Director Liu Ming left with his personal assistant, leaving behind the entire film crew.

Before leaving, he looked at the bustling film crew and felt a bit emotional.

"This is truly using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito; it's simply a waste of talent!"

"What kind of advertisement is worthy of such a film crew?"

"That guy Qin Xun!"

"He's really extravagant; he wants to use the best of everything."

"He uses a top-tier singer, and I bet he'll get a top-tier soundtrack for the advertisement, and use cinema-grade cinematography."

"And it's going to take a full seven days."

"Is this a pursuit of quality or just a waste?"

After Director Liu Ming left, Qin Xun took over the entire film crew.

He held a meeting directly in the living room of the homestay rented by the film team to give an opening statement.

"I'm new here, so I should treat everyone to a meal."

"But time is tight and the task is heavy, so I don't have the time. I hope everyone will forgive me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw expressions of disdain and dissatisfaction on their faces.

Qin Xun coughed lightly.

Xia Ning carried a bag over, placed it on the coffee table, and opened it to reveal stacks of cash.

Everyone was shocked.

"What... what is this for?"

"Director Qin, what do you mean by this?"

"Oh my... this?"

Qin Xun scanned the crowd with a smile on his face.

"I'm a vulgar person, and I'm also young, so I don't really understand social niceties."

"I can't speak those flowery words either."

"My sincerity is all in this money."

"Everyone will be working hard these days. Excluding the extras, there are 28 people in the film crew here. There is 280,000 in here. Please go and take one stack each in an orderly manner."

Everyone looked at each other, then looked at the assistant director.

The assistant director waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "Director Qin, why go through all this trouble?"

"With Director Liu Ming's word and Sister Ye overseeing things, who would dare not listen to you?"

"You're being too polite!"

Qin Xun clearly saw his gaze constantly drifting toward the bag of money and said jokingly, "Brother Zhao, don't be polite with me. I'm the type of person who tends to take things seriously."

Upon hearing this, the assistant director quickly reached into the bag, took 10,000 yuan, and said with a chuckle, "Then I will respectfully accept!"

A burst of happy laughter filled the room.

Everyone took 10,000 yuan from the bag in an orderly fashion, feeling extremely satisfied, and looked at Qin Xun with different eyes.

They had seen generous people, but where had they seen someone this generous?

This wasn't failing to understand social niceties; this was understanding them too well!

Who cares about eating a meal with you!

Money is the real ancestor!

They were already getting paid for these seven days, and getting an extra 10,000 yuan was even more than their salary.

This was really wonderful!

Suddenly, everyone in the room was as energized as if they had been injected with adrenaline, looking at Qin Xun seriously and listening intently to his requirements.

Qin Xun didn't waste any words and began to issue instructions.

"Please listen carefully, and don't miss any details."

"I need..."
