Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 772 - 773 Fear and Anxiety

A female staff member couldn’t take it anymore and cried, "I’m done, I want to go home, this place is too dangerous. You can hear gunshots every day, and a moment of carelessness could cost you your life."

Gong Hongyu was quite experienced in consoling people, reassuring them over and over that the surroundings were very safe, that the sound of gunfire was a common occurrence due to national issues, and the presence of residents here proved that this place wasn’t a battlefield, untouched by war.

After a moment of thought, he brought up the fact that He Jinxia had six bodyguards by her side.

With his meticulous consolation, some of the scared staff members gradually stabilized their emotions, especially the female staff member who had initially made a fuss; she thanked him somewhat embarrassedly, her cheeks flushed with shame.

He Jinxia watched from the sidelines, deep in thought.

Luo You whispered beside her, "No matter where we go, no matter how the environment changes around us, a society that judges by appearance just can’t be eliminated, huh..."

He Jinxia laughed, her eyes shining as she teased, "Brother Luo, if you want, you can also pretend to be frightened and wail a few times, I guarantee our male lead will surely pay attention to you."

Luo You rolled his eyes at her, "I’m not messing around like that."

He Jinxia then offered another sincere suggestion, "Actually, our film crew’s female staff members are quite pretty. How about you give a few wails, and I’ll create an opportunity for you?"

Luo You considered the possibility of doing so and, upon thinking of something, suddenly blushed, quickly shaking his head, "Hey, I came to see you filming, not to hit on girls. Instead of making fun of me right now, you should be thinking about how to continue filming this movie!"

At the mention of business, the smile on He Jinxia’s face disappeared, and her expression became solemn.

She furrowed her brows and looked up into the distance, where only a stretch of lush green pines separated her from another world.

On the other side of the mountains, the gunfire sporadically burst out, not intense, but like the occasional shot out of the blue, it struck the heart abruptly, causing heart-pounding fear.

He Jinxia took a deep breath and glanced over at the other startled members of the crew.

Their emotions had been soothed, and they seemed to be trying to adapt, but for people who had always lived in a peaceful country, getting used to a nation surrounded by guns and ammunition probably wouldn’t happen in a month or two.

In this state, when could they finish shooting the movie?

Director Qian was also well aware of the crew’s predicament and called a meeting with all the staff and actors that very night. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

At the meeting, Director Qian laid out all the pros and cons of the current shooting arrangement and finally proposed a solution, "If you want to leave this place as soon as possible, then focus on filming, work hard, and advance all our progress!"

The sooner they finished filming, the sooner they could leave this area for the next shooting location, or even finish shooting altogether and return to Huaxia!

Director Qian urged everyone to think it over — if they wanted to head back to Huaxia now, it would be a breach of contract requiring them to shoulder a heavy financial penalty.

The production team had offered them such generous compensation in the first place because they had considered the harsh environment and ongoing conflict in Country L.

Furthermore, at the time of signing the contract, Director Qian had also reviewed the conditions in Country L with everyone.

Since they had already signed the contract and had arrived, instead of thinking about how to leave, it would be better to think about quickly completing filming to wrap up early.

In the end, Director Qian repeatedly assured everyone of their safety and even brought Gong Hongyu forward as a promise.

"Everyone knows that the film I’m making involves war, where Huaxia soldiers come to rescue the Overseas Chinese, protect their lives and property, and promote a positive image of Huaxia. For this reason, we’ve even applied to the national government for a batch of new, high-tech weapons, and the Military Department has also sent someone to supervise us,"

"Our protagonist in the movie—Gong Hongyu— is himself a former soldier and also the lead actor in our drama. He’s also the Inspector sent by the Military Department to supervise us. With him here, we’ll be fine!"

"If there’s any trouble here, he’ll contact the military to send people over right away. You can rest assured, and besides, think about it—if there really was any danger, there wouldn’t be people living around here. So don’t worry!"

Director Qian’s speech had a very good calming effect.

Although everyone knew what he was saying was just lip service and whether things would really be as he assured would only be known if an accident actually occurred, in such circumstances, an inspiring promise was necessary.

The next morning, continuous gunfire could still be heard from the green mountains, but every member of the "Special Action" crew worked under pressure.

Even if their legs were a bit shaky, the hands holding the reflector boards were steady.

Everyone seemed to have formed a united front—finish shooting early, get home early!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The "Special Action" crew’s filming had gotten on the right track, and everyone worked tirelessly to get out faster, not daring to slack off.

So just in half a month’s time, they achieved the goals set for a whole month, and with one more week, they would be able to leave this area and head to the next city.

During this half month, He Jinxia worked hard filming, and Luo You was also busy, serving as her assistant while keeping an eye on the news from the Huaxia entertainment circle.

After a summer full of noise and passion, "Strongest Female Trainee" and "Sunshine Youth Charge Ahead" also came to their finale the day before yesterday, launching a brand-new girl group and boy band—

"Strongest Girl" and "Sunshine Boy"!

In the development history of teams in the Huaxia entertainment circle, girl groups are the mainstream. Boy bands have been few and far between, but this time, Shengshi Entertainment rode the coattails of Tonghua Entertainment and indeed opened a new Chapter for Huaxia boy bands.

With the help of the popularity from the reality shows, these two groups have become unequalled in Huaxia for the time being. Without a single work, all the members have appeared on first-line magazines, with international famous photographers personally shooting the inner page covers for them!

Not only that, but they also swept up endorsements from M and K brands!

The girl group became spokesmodels for the M brand, while the boy band secured the K brand, showing a trend of dominating half the market.

In addition, they were invited to sing theme songs for various movies and TV shows, start their own exclusive variety shows, and so on.

However, when it comes to overall resources, the girl group launched by Tonghua Entertainment has the greater buzz.

The team reality show that dominated netizens’ summer vacations finally came to an end, giving other types of reality shows a chance to breathe and pop up one after another, blossoming in variety.

Among them, the one He Jinxia invested in, "Rescue 5 Hours," had the highest profile.

After the first three episodes aired, the reputation of "Rescue 5 Hours" continued to rise. Its rating went from low to high, and netizens praised it as a reality show with heart.
