Chapter 273. The last part of the shooting (2)
"Hey, move that prop over here."
"Don't let the costumes get dust. They will be used tomorrow. So, keep them safely in the makeup room."
"You!! I already said not to move that prop."
The filming site manager was shouting as he instructed the staff to move the props and the costume.
The staff also moved hurriedly but cautiously, as they feared that they would make a mistake, causing the manager to scold them.
It was a common sight which can be seen after the shoot. The staff was already used to it and as the shoot was progressing well, they were in a good mood too.
"Ah, I should tell the editing team to edit this well or this scene can lose its weight."
Among them, the person who was in a really good mood was Director Chen Pu.
Now that Na Wen had properly grasped his character, his mistakes have lessened considerably. It was to the point that he was giving competition to the other actors.
Aside from him, every other actor was giving his best from the start and the shooting would soon be finished in a month or two.
'I should discuss the ending with that old man.'
Director Chen Pu thought.
The old man he was referring to was CEO Pan of Wheel works production and he would often discuss the scenes with him.
Although the screenplay was complete and the ending was also decided, Director Chen Pu still has some worries about it.
He wanted to be sure before shooting the ending.
Aside from the ending, there was also the matter of the theme song and the ending song. The marketing team was also deciding on the locations the cast would go for promotions.
"Director Chen Pu."
"Ren, I thought you already left the set."
Most of the actors have already left the set after the wrap up today.
It was because they were too tired after a day of shooting and Director Chen Pu would always go to extreme lengths to bring out the whole potential of an actor.
All of the cast would get too tired and immediately go to their hotels to have dinner, and a good night sleep.
"I was going to leave but then, I thought that I should invite you to dinner"
Ren said with a calm gaze, hiding the thoughts in his mind.
If he was going to talk about changing the ending, it would be best to do it over dinner.
"Dinner? Sure, I was getting hungry anyway."
Director Chen Pu's eyes shined for a second when he heard that. He knew that Ren was not someone who would invite him to dinner on a whim.
Director Chen Pu was curious about what Ren wanted to talk to him about and it was true that he was getting hungry.
It was better to eat dinner with someone, rather than eating it alone.
That's why, Director Chen Pu didn't refuse Ren's offer. Both of them quickly moved to a five star hotel to eat their dinner.

Director Chen Pu and Ren talked a lot about different things on the dining table. The topics differed from filming to the theme song.
The theme song and the ending song was an absolute necessity in a historical drama, as it can show the tension and emotions of the characters well.
Due to this, it was also necessary to compose the songs according to the situations and the characters.
"The guide version of the theme song is already completed and the recording will also start soon. By the way, why are you not drinking the wine?"
Director Chen Pu asked with a fl.u.s.tered expression. He had drank too much red wine.
"Actually, I'm protecting my throat."
Ren answered while pouring another glass of red wine for Director Chen Pu.
"Protecting your throat? You are not a singer. Why are you caring about that?"
"Actually, I am going to release a mini album soon."
Director Chen Pu nodded his head when he heard that. If Ren was going to release a mini album, then protecting his throat was must.
For a singer, their throat was everything.
They have to protect it at all costs. Ren was also advised not to drink any alcohol or smoke any cigarettes.
As he understood the reason behind this, there was no reason for Ren to object to it.
"Don't forget that you are an actor first and the results of your album don't matter, as it doesn't showcase your real ability."
Ren nodded when he heard that.
Director Chen Pu's meaning was simple. He was telling him that even if the album didn't work, it should not affect him much as Ren was an actor, not a singer.
Ren also understood why Director Chen Pu was saying that.
Several actors have transitioned into the music industry and many of them were not able to make a place there.
That has affected them and their focus on their acting has dwindled because of that. Director Chen Pu doesn't want the same for Ren.
Like that, both Director Chen Pu and Ren talked about some more things like the rumours around some movies and actors.
It was just a basic conversation as Ren was still looking for a chance to talk about changing the ending.
'I have to do it now!!'
Ren thought as he perceived that the dinner would finish soon. He has to start the talk now or he would lose the chance.
Ren soon opened his mouth.
"Actually, I wanted to talk about something."
'Here it is.'
Director Chen Pu has already figured out that Ren wanted to talk about something.
Although he had drunk red wine, he was still sober enough as his alcohol quality was high. He looked at Ren and asked.
"What is it?"
"It's about the ending of the drama."
"What about the ending?"
Director Chen Pu was a little surprised when Ren started talking about the ending. It was because he was also worrying about the ending.
"I think people would be left unsatisfied by the current ending. I'm not saying that it's bad but there's a high chance that people will not like it."
"Why do you think that?"
'I thought he would be angry with me.'
Ren was a little surprised when he saw that Director Chen Pu was still listening to him without any change in his expression.
He thought that Director Chen Pu would shout at him, as he was one of those eccentric directors that don't like anyone questioning his decision.
But as he was still calm, it was a chance for Ren.
"Actually, the ending is not bad, but it won't satisfy the viewers. The viewers will watch over 50 episodes and they will eagerly wait for a good ending, but a cliff ending can infuriate them."
Ren said that in one breath and waited for Director Chen Pu's reaction.
