Sweet Wife in My Arms Chapter 685 - Easy To Ask, Hard To Survive

Chapter 685: Easy To Ask, Hard To Survive

The audiences who had watched the movie felt like they were cheated.

They expected it to be a sequel of White Fox, as the ending for that movie felt too vague, so they hoped that the movie could be concluded with a better ending this time. However, they were disappointed to find out that this movie was completely unrelated to White Fox. Despite the presence of a little fox in this movie, it was the most hideous fox the audiences had ever seen as it did not wear any expression but merely acted like a robot.

It’s not ugly. It’s only fat from eating too much.

They are right. G.o.ddess Su, your fans are telling you to lose weight.

Yan Huan lifted the cup as she scrolled through the acc.u.mulated comments. She was rather amused. No one was discussing the quality of the movie and she reckoned that the plot was not interesting enough. Instead, the comments were mainly focused on how much weight a certain Su G.o.ddess had gained.

Yes, your G.o.ddess has gained a great amount of weight and is now fat like never before. She should definitely try to lose weight.

On the second day, the box office of the movie, Legend of the Fox, was less than 50 million and the showtimes available were decreasing rapidly.

At that time, box offices for the other new year movies had achieved 1.5 billion whilst Legend of the Fox was only able to hit 300 million. There were people who expected Legend of the Fox to top the movie chart. Yet, it was proven impossible.

The audiences who had watched the Legend of the Fox felt as though they were scammed. At the same time, they understood that White Fox no longer needed a sequel as it would never be the same as the original movie.

What they were obsessed with was just a beautiful yet flawed memory.

For now, Yan Huan was not interested to know Su Muran’s current thoughts about the situation because it was completely irrelevant to her. Recently, her health had recovered well and she had gained some weight as well. Although she looked beautiful in her skinny body, she was still as attractive as ever even after gaining weight. In fact, her current body weight was perfect and she might still be as lithe as a swallow.

She lifted her cup, sipped the milk and closed her laptop. Then, she walked to the bay window and sat down beside the window. The snow had stopped and the surrounding temperature was rising. The weather was going to turn warmer soon.

She placed the cup on her thigh as a smile appeared on her beautiful red lips. She might still carry a hint of sorrow with her, but she was still alive and living well.

She ought to take good care of herself and Lu Yi’s parents.

After new year, every corner of the earth began to warm up. If it were not for her ambitions regarding the entertainment industry, Yan Huan would choose to live a peaceful and ordinary life, eating and resting according to a regular daily schedule. That would definitely help to speed up her recovery.

Spring had arrived and flowers were blooming everywhere. It was another new season that initiated another new year. The seasons were constantly changing and time was constantly moving forward.

“Sister Liang, do you have any free slots?” Yan Huan asked Liang Chen through the phone.

“Yes, I do! I was waiting for you to call,” Liang Chen answered as she covered her mouth and chuckled. “Anyway, I don’t want to be involved in any other projects. Both Haolin and I can spend all our time with you. In short, we are all yours.”

“That’s great!” Yan Huan heaved a sigh of relief as she had managed to secure two important actors.

Next, she looked for Zhou Zizhe, asking if he and Fang Ying were available. As for Zhou Zizhe, he was occupied for now but that would only last until the end of this month. Unfortunately, Fang Ying’s time was fully booked.

Yan Huan counted the number of people that Linlang recruited recently. There was a sufficient number of them. As for the casting process, Yan Huan believed that her insight was still incomparable to those of the professional producers and directors. Hence, she completely trusted them to a.s.semble the lineup of actors and actresses.

The only thing she ought to do now was to recuperate her health. After all, filming a movie was always exhausting, not to mention a movie like this which involved rigging and survival in the wilderness. These were all common stunts in a movie and no one could shy away from them.

If she was unfit during the shooting, then she would be irresponsible to the entire team and ruin the whole movie production.

“You’re almost as fit as before,” He Yibin declared after the latest check-up. He was finally at ease after he made sure of her recovery progress.

“Can I start filming now?” asked Yan Huan. She, too, noticed that she felt much better than before. However, she was afraid that she would inconvenience the others as she was not in good shape.

“Don’t worry. It shouldn’t be a problem,” said He Yibin with a grin on his face. “You are healing well. If you continue to follow my advice, there shouldn’t be any further issues.”

“Thanks,” Yan Huan expressed her sincere grat.i.tude. She would not have recovered so smoothly and speedily without He Yibin’s help.

“You fought for yourself,” He Yibin was relieved to know that she was getting better. “As long as you are healthy and promise that you would never do anything foolish again. The most important thing is always to live your life to the fullest.”

“Yes, I know,” said Yan Huan. She stood up with the cup in her hand. Her vision was blurry but she felt as though she was seeing a galaxy full of s.h.i.+ning stars.

It was easy to ask for help, but it was difficult to survive.

After half a month, the production crew embarked on their journey. This time, the filming venue was a studio, but at a real primeval forest. Yan Huan and Zhou Zizhe had partic.i.p.ated in a survival reality show beforehand. Therefore, it was easier for them to adapt to the environment.

The beginning of the movie was about an ordinary girl in a modern era who was accidentally transported back to 10 thousand years ago where dinosaurs, active volcanoes and various species of bizarre yet beautiful flora and fauna still existed.

The post-production process to spice up the movie’s graphics with special effects would take about three years’ time. The filming process would last for half a year whereas the editing needed another three years, while the post-production might need at least another half a year to complete. Luckily, Yan Huan had prepared in advance. Otherwise, merely dealing with these computer graphics might take nearly four years or more to complete.

Yan Huan estimated that the total investment made in this movie was approximately 300 million as she had never calculated it in detail. Fortunately, Linlang was a profitable company. Otherwise, Linlang would not be able to afford such big investment.

Yan Huan preferred to invest in the production of computer graphics, clothing and an interesting plot. The remuneration of the cast was the least important. The money saved from the actors’ pay would contribute to improving the quality of the entire film.

Firstly, Yan Huan, Liang Chen and Qi Haolin partic.i.p.ated in the movie without getting paid, whereas Zhou Zizhe was appearing as a cameo in the movie, thus his pay was considerably low. As for the others, they were only minor actors in the company and they would not be paid any extravagant sum either.

They made an effort not to destroy the ecosystem of the primeval forest. They built some tents as they intended to live in the forest along the terrain. The entire crew was going to spend the next few months to half a year’s time in this natural habitat.
