Filming Wrapped

The Happy Family's plot quickly reached its midpoint.

To get rid of the Ghosts that kept possessing him, the male lead needed to help each of them fulfill their wishes one by one.

Perverted Grandpa wanted to find his camera.

The Child's wish was simple: to eat and drink to their heart's content.

As for Smoker Uncle's wish, it was a bit peculiar.

He actually wanted to steal a car.

The male lead had no choice but to try and steal a car in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, before he could even steal the car, he was discovered by its owner.

The owner of the car was a boss who suspected his wife of having an affair.

Upon discovering the male lead trying to steal his car, he mistook him for his wife's lover.

He wanted to run the male lead over with his car but didn't dare to hit him directly, so he just chased after him.

After running for a long time, the male lead, out of breath, finally couldn't run anymore.

The Little Boss quickly slammed on the brakes.

The male lead turned around and told the Little Boss that he had the ability to communicate with spirits and could help the Little Boss find out who his wife was having an affair with.

Smoker Uncle used his ability, blowing out cold air that chilled the Little Boss inside the car.

The Little Boss turned on the air conditioning, and the temperature inside the car finally returned to normal.

The few of them stared at each other.

At the male lead's pleading, the Little Boss agreed to his request.

Thus, the male lead embarked on a path of no return, following the wife.

The male lead's tailing was clumsy, but surprisingly effective.

The Little Boss's wife thought the male lead was a lunatic, so she didn't pay him any mind.

The male lead followed the Little Boss's wife to the hospital, where he discovered the truth.

It turned out the Little Boss's wife wasn't having an affair; she was sick with lung cancer.

She chose to forgo treatment for fear of affecting the child in her womb.

The male lead told the Little Boss the truth.

The Little Boss eventually went to talk to his wife.

Their conversation was also deeply moving.

Little Boss: "Why didn't you tell me? You need to get treatment~"

Wife: "I believe that it's more important for our child to live than for me to survive. Although we will grow old... our child will grow up..."

After the wife finished speaking, the Little Boss was already in tears, crying like a helpless child.

The actors playing this couple were also Lin Chuan's university teachers.

The female lead taught vocal music.

The male lead was a math teacher.

They weren't planning to have children yet.

Although they weren't acting teachers, they had graduated from the Jianghai City Film Academy, and their acting skills were profound and very natural.

They were a couple in real life too. They had a physical examination before the New Year, and both were in excellent health, with no cancer.

They didn't even have common ailments like paronychia or hemorrhoids.

The two were clearly deeply immersed in their roles. Even after filming ended, they held each other tightly, as if afraid that letting go would mean eternal separation.

On set, many people who were easily moved were also weeping uncontrollably.

Among them, the art teacher Xu Xiu was already in tears.

Many emotionally sensitive staff members were also secretly wiping away tears.

Lin Chuan, on the other hand, did not cry. Instead, he was very satisfied with the filming results.

If even the filming staff couldn't help but cry, wouldn't the audience cry buckets when the film was released?

Perverted Grandpa, the Child, Smoker Uncle, and the crying elder sister.

As their wishes were fulfilled one by one, their scenes ended, and characters were continuously completed.

Soon, a short month passed.

Amidst the cheers of the crew.

The filming of the movie Happy Family was completely wrapped up.

The plot of Happy Family wasn't simple, but it wasn't complicated either.

It was just that Lin Chuan kept a tight grip on the filming schedule, shooting nearly ten scenes on average every day.

This also made the staff very tired.

Lighting and cinematography were, in fact, physically demanding jobs.

However, Lin Chuan provided the crew with top-notch treatment.

Not only were the boxed meals and salaries at the highest standard.

There was triple pay for overtime.

Sometimes he would also give out red envelopes, buy snacks, milk tea, and treat the entire crew.

Everyone greatly admired Lin Chuan, this new director.

However, with the filming of Happy Family finally complete, this exhausting shoot had come to an end.

Many crew members felt a huge weight lifted off their shoulders.

Next, all that was needed was to finish editing the film, and it could be shown in theaters.

After Happy Family wrapped, Lin Chuan held a wrap party.

After all, this was Lin Chuan's first time directing a live-action film, making it exceptionally significant.

Lin Chuan also invited Ren Hang.

Although he had no acting parts throughout the entire film, he had actually been present.

Ren Hang was there when Director Hou and Ma Wei analyzed Lin Chuan's acting.

Ren Hang was also there when Lin Chuan, playing the role of someone possessed by a ghost, displayed his split-personality acting.

Ren Hang was still there when the couple tearfully confessed their love, but his presence was so subtle that he was overlooked.

Lin Chuan had considered whether or not to let Ren Hang play a cameo role.

But then he thought, even the most inexperienced child actor would have better acting skills than Ren Hang.

If he acted, he would just be outshone anyway, so he decided not to have Ren Hang cameo.

He would give him a significant role in a new film later.

Many actors whose scenes had finished also came to attend this wrap party.

Director Hou, Ma Wei, and Xu Xiu were among them.

They were all university professors with leisurely jobs, and Happy Family was shot in Jianghai City.

The wrap party was also scheduled for the evening.

Even Ma Wei, who was usually busy with work, made time to attend the wrap party for Happy Family.

Happy Family was also a special film they had acted in.

The ending, in particular, left a deep impression on them.

At the wrap party, these actors also offered their blessings to Lin Chuan.

Director Hou felt that Lin Chuan had strong acting fundamentals and a high directorial vision, and that Happy Family possessed immense artistic value.

At the same time, he hinted to Lin Chuan that he was always welcome to transfer to the acting department if he ever wished.

Then he could balance acting and learning to act.

Ma Wei, on the other hand, felt that the theme of Happy Family was a popular one, and it was a light comedy film that was most favored by the market, so its box office performance would not be low.

As for Xu Xiu, Xu Xiu, with her swollen eyes from crying, told Lin Chuan.

Happy Family was a good movie, but she would absolutely not watch it a second time.

It was simply too distressing, and her tear ducts couldn't handle it.

Lin Chuan felt a bit bewildered.

In Lin Chuan's opinion, the ending of Happy Family was quite healing and could be considered a happy ending.

He didn't quite understand why Teacher Xu Xiu would say such a thing.

After some thought, Lin Chuan concluded that it was probably because Teacher Xu Xiu was too sensitive.

At the wrap party, many crew members came to toast Lin Chuan.

This was Lin Chuan's first time directing a live-action film, but his demeanor was like that of a seasoned veteran.

This was influenced by the talent the System had given him.

It was also due to Lin Chuan's own hard work.

Everyone was both in awe and a little afraid of Lin Chuan, the young Director.

Now that they finally had a chance, they naturally came forward one after another to ply him with drinks.

Lin Chuan accepted them all.

Now that Happy Family had finished filming, the biggest part of the job was done.

Next, they just needed to release it in theaters and see the audience's reaction and the box office performance.

Lin Chuan also saw this wrap party as a rare opportunity to let loose.

After gaining the Rubber Man Talent, Lin Chuan found that not only had his physical fitness improved, but his alcohol tolerance had also increased significantly.

At the very least, the people from the film crew were no match for Lin Chuan.

After drinking at least a kilogram of baijiu, Lin Chuan was only tipsy.

The wrap party was held outdoors, with everyone eating small barbecued skewers and drinking under the starry sky.

Lin Chuan chugged half a bottle of baijiu and sat on a small stool, gazing at the brilliant starry sky.

In the end, Lin Chuan stopped holding back, his vision blurred by alcohol as he looked at the stars.

He started dreaming about Happy Family breaking the 100 million mark.

"If Happy Family's box office can surpass 100 million, what kind of talent will I get?"

The next day, Lin Chuan woke up feeling refreshed and invigorated.

He already exercised regularly, and after gaining the Rubber Man Talent, Lin Chuan's physical fitness far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Therefore, Lin Chuan didn't experience any of the headaches or dizziness that normal people felt after getting drunk.

After getting money, Lin Chuan didn't immediately rush to rent an apartment off-campus; he just installed an air conditioner in his dorm.

Most of the actors in the film crew were teachers from Jianghai Film Academy.

The filming location was also near Jianghai Film Academy, so there was no need to rent a place for the time being.

After going for a few laps, a simple morning run, Lin Chuan returned to his dorm.

He mentally summoned the System.

"System, the movie filming is complete. Please give me my reward."
