Kidnap a superstar for a romance

Chapter 414 Day 410 of Being the Boss

The summer solstice has not yet arrived, but June is already halfway over.

The opening ceremony of the crew of "Infinity - Dream" was scheduled for June, the beginning of midsummer. Although Xu Yisong did not participate in the performance, as an investor and one of the main creators of the stage play, she also went to the scene on the opening day.

Because it is the first adaptation, "Infinity - Dream" is positioned as a science fiction short play with only 11 episodes. But even so, because of the special theme and the stage play, the crew invested a lot of money even if it is just a short play.

With FYH's investment in this drama, the funds are sufficient, but more details are required in terms of scenery. In order to achieve the effect in the script, the crew even rented a piece of land in the suburbs a few months in advance to build a real-life location exclusively for "Infinity - Dream".

Today's opening ceremony was held at this real-life venue.

After the drama adaptation of "Infinity - Dream" was restarted, Xu Yisong retreated behind the scenes and became a true investor. She no longer participated in any of the work. She only learned about the progress of the specific implementation through text and photos in the submitted plans.

Now that he was standing here, Xu Yisong finally understood why the largest amount of funds reported in each report was spent on the early stage set design work.

When she stepped into the entire real-life shooting base, she even felt as if she had returned to China, and it was as if she had stepped directly into an ancient garden.

Not only are the scenery and buildings built completely in accordance with the standards of Suzhou gardens, although it is impossible to be exactly one-to-one, at least there is no problem in appearance.

In order to reflect the age of the venue, the details are treated to look old, making it look like walking into an ancient building with hundreds or thousands of years of history.

In the script, this garden has two different states: a normal scene and a ghostly fantasy.

Apart from the different atmosphere, the two scenes are exactly the same. However, due to the differences in details, some dilapidated scenes cannot be changed with props. For this reason, the crew also specially built two identical scenes for the shooting of two different scenes.

The only pity is that this land is rented, and such a good real scene will have to be demolished after the filming of the drama is completed.

Except for Xu Yisong's role, the other leading actors are still the original cast of the stage play, and most of the supporting roles are also trainees from FYH, so this is probably the most familiar crew among the actors.

The opening ceremony was scheduled in the morning, the weather was clear and cloudless, and the sun had not yet completely climbed to the center of the sky. The sunlight at this time was also the most gentle, and coupled with a gust of cool morning breeze, the air was tinged with a touch of comfort.

"What a good day." Xu Yisong closed his eyes and sighed.

The director came over and just happened to hear Xu Yisong's sigh, and then added: "I specially hired a professional to look at the date. If it's not good, the money will be wasted. The money for the master is paid by myself."

Xu Yisong could tell he was joking and continued with a smile, "Ayi Gu, I'll reimburse you for this. How can you let Director An pay for this out of his own pocket?"

The director of this film is An Jihao, who I met through Feng Junhao's director group last time. In the first half of the year, An's new drama "Secret Forest" was just aired a few days ago.

When he was casting for this drama, he sent the script to Xu Yisong for an audition, but Xu Yisong was so busy with his own work at the time that although he was very interested in the script, he ultimately did not go.

But I didn’t expect that the two of them would work together again just half a year later, but Xu Yisong was not an actor but an investor.

Xu Yisong met An Gil-ho before the New Year, and invited him to direct "Infinity - Dream" in March, while An Gil-ho was filming "Secret Forest" at that time. He originally wanted to refuse, thinking that he might not have enough time, but after being rejected for the first time, Xu Yisong personally went to the crew of "Secret Forest" to interview Director An, and Director An finally took the job during a meal.

So right after he finished filming "Secret Forest" in May, he immediately started preparing for the start of filming of "Infinity - Dream". In May, he even started preparing for the crew of the new drama "Infinity - Dream" on two fronts in parallel.

Originally, Xu Yisong and his team had scheduled the start date for July, but Ahn Gil-ho was quick to act, and he had started preparing for the preliminary work very early, so the start ceremony of "Infinity - Dream" was moved forward by half a month.

After the opening ceremony, the crew started working. While everyone was still preparing, the director had time to chat with Xu Yisong.

The filming location was on a hillside in the suburbs. An Jihao and Heo Yisong leaned against the railing on the hillside, where they could see the village and farmland below.

Xu Yisong handed the can of coffee in his hand to the director and said, "From now on, this crew will rely on you, Director An."

This was just sent by the stage staff, but Xu Yisong doesn't drink coffee, so he just took the opportunity to offer it to others.

"Aren't you staying and watching today?" Based on Xu Yisong's previous supervisory attitude, An Jihao thought that she would at least stay and watch on the first day of filming.

If Xu Yisong had nothing else to do, she would of course stay and watch. She really liked sitting next to the scene and watching the filming, but unfortunately she had a lot of things to do today. "No, I have to go on a business trip to Jindo in the afternoon."

The variety show that I mentioned to Blue Whale before has already started filming, and the location is in Jindo.

There is a segment with guest singers in the program. Since the program is funded by FYH and co-produced by JTBC, and Xu Yisong is an artist herself, she was also one of the invited guests.

Of course, the reason for inviting Xu Yisong is not only because she is the investor, but also because the topic of Kwon Ji-yong proposing to her has recently topped the Korean Internet trending list, and the program crew wanted to take advantage of the popularity.

After all, it is their own show, and inviting Xu Yisong can save some appearance fees, and the effect may be better than paying for it.

An Jihao was just asking casually. It didn't matter whether the investor was in the crew or not. However, the investor Xu Yisong was also an actor, and he was a little curious because he had never worked with Xu Yisong as an actor before.

He had heard a lot about Xu Yisong from other directors before, and thought that if she stayed here today, he could learn more.

Hearing Xu Yisong say that he was going on a business trip in the afternoon, and that he was going to a place as far away as Jindo in the south, I felt a little emotional: "President Xu's schedule is much busier than that of an artist."

Hearing this, Xu Yisong just smiled and said nothing.

Her current schedule is not that busy compared to before. When she was the busiest, she had to travel to three or four countries a day, not to mention going from Seoul to Jindo. Apart from meetings, she was either catching a plane or on the way to a plane, and she didn't even have time to sleep.
