"Is it really burning?"

“It’s really burning!”

Chen An nodded and said to the crew.

Use money to buy and build a house, and then burn it down after filming!
After the last scene was shot on the plateau.

Chen An asked the crew to prepare fire-fighting tools first, prevent the flames from spreading, and stand by.

The house was directly clicked in the real shot. I have plenty of money but I still want to play the real shot.

Several cameras were arranged to face the burning house, and Chen An himself watched one filming the burning house.

The flames spread layer by layer, and soon all the houses on the mountain were set on fire!
They also set up explosive devices to blow up the house!

On top of the frosty mountains, the fiery red houses are burning against the backdrop of ice and snow, creating a spectacular sight!

Chen An felt really happy when looking at this scene. It’s good to have money!
When the time comes, I will also set fire to and blow up Bruce Wayne’s filming mansion to repay the Vice President for wanting a big picture!

It must be exciting and wonderful.

No wonder Nolan likes real shooting so much. Is this the feeling of real shooting?
You can feel the heat wave coming towards you from a long distance, and the real feeling arises spontaneously!

"Okay, okay, it's almost burned out, let's put out the fire!" Chen An held the camera and looked at the filming material and said quickly on the intercom.

Not only the crew members, but also the local people were hired by Chen An to put out the fire quickly.

Dozens or even hundreds of people quickly put out the fire.

The house built on a high mountain also collapsed.

After Chen An arranged for people to move away all the broken debris, he took another photo of the site in case of emergency.

"Old Chen, how much investment did Warner give you? Can it withstand your behavior?" Chen Wei, who was helping with the work, asked while wiping his sweat tiredly.

It took a lot of time and money to build this house, and people from the surrounding area were hired to help with the emergency construction.

It would have been nice to keep it as a tourist attraction after the filming, but Chen An simply burned it down. Fearing that it wasn't completely destroyed, he even used blasting devices, leaving only debris on the ground!
Chen An raised his lips and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Warner was afraid that I would be reluctant to spend money, so they specifically asked me to make the picture bigger. They spent 1.4 million US dollars on the production budget, and they were worried that they would be heartbroken if they couldn't spend it all. Naturally, I have to find a way to make them happy."

"Then Warner has found the right person." Even Chen Wei felt sorry for the residue on the ground.

Chen An didn't think so. It wasn't his own money being spent anyway, so he just kept making it.

"Of course. I've never fought such a grand battle in my life. I'll shoot it all in real time. I want the most shocking effect!" Chen An said bluntly.

The exterior shooting has basically been completed, and the next step is to return to the United States for local shooting.

It is also the most important fragment.

After cleaning up the scene, the crew set out from the plateau and returned to Beijing a few days later.

However, Chen An asked the crew to leave first and he stayed behind and would leave later.

Anyway, Jerry will pick me up in Chicago.

"Just listen to Chen Wei from now on. I will go to Chicago later." Chen An said to the Chinese people he had arranged in the crew.

"About graduation?" Chen Wei asked curiously.

It’s almost time, and I guess he doesn’t have time to take pictures of him now. He should probably go and discuss with the school.

Chen An nodded, "That's right, it won't take a few days, you guys go first."

It is indeed for this reason. This year's graduation season is coming soon, and I really can't leave now, so I can only apply for an extension from the school.

Teacher Mu sat in his office, processing the documents distributed by the school.

Now he is the director of the photography department.

He took over directly after Professor Gan stepped down.

With Chen An as a student under him, there was no gossip about how he got the position.

After all, they are all young teachers and are relatively young.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door and it was pushed open. Teacher Mu looked up and suddenly felt that the scene was a little familiar.

"Oh, the big director is back to visit his teacher." Teacher Mu said with a smile on his face when he saw Chen An, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, coming in.

Chen An looked at Professor Gan's office, which had not changed much. He scratched his head and said, "Please don't criticize me. I was here the year you were promoted, and I was there during the Chinese New Year as well."

In the second half of 98, after Chen An graduated from college, Teacher Mu was promoted to the director of the Photography Department of Beijing Film Academy. Chen An even came over to celebrate.

"How dare you say that? It's been several years. You've been running around outside all day and never come to school. You haven't even graduated yet. All the junior students are looking forward to seeing you, a great director."

"I'm busy now. I've won the Oscar, but I'm still short of the Palme d'Or. I was thinking of bringing them over when the time comes."

Chen An was holding a fruit basket and laughing.

He tiptoed to Teacher Mu's desk, took out the letter that he had prepared long ago and handed it over.

"What are you doing? What is this?" Seeing the envelope, Mr. Mu frowned and asked without reacting.

Chen An saw that the other party had misunderstood him and quickly explained: "No, what are you thinking about? This is what I gave to the school. It's about the graduation project. It may have to be postponed. Currently, filming in Hollywood cannot be stopped. Every day, tens of millions of dollars are lost."

"There is really no time for filming, so we can only postpone it and wait until the filming in Hollywood is finished before filming. So I wrote a letter to formally hand it over to the school."

Teacher Mu felt relieved after hearing Chen An’s explanation. He took the envelope but did not open it.

"You can just tell me or Principal Wang directly. Why make it so formal? It will delay your filming." Teacher Mu said unhappily to Chen An in front of him.

Teacher Mu didn't care. It was not like he didn't want to shoot the film. His students were doing very well and had big projects like Hollywood's "Batman" in their hands. He didn't want him to be delayed.

Chen An smiled and said, "That won't work. I've already postponed it once. My undergraduate graduation project hasn't been filmed yet. If I postpone it again this time, I have to be more formal. I can't let people gossip that it's my fault."

Of course he knew it was something that could be done with just a phone call, and now with his achievements the school would definitely agree.

But I still wrote a letter and delivered it personally.

The school helped me a lot in the initial short film shooting, so naturally I want to express my gratitude.

"Okay then, I'll hand in the letter for you, and by the way, meet your fellow junior students. Do you have time to have dinner with them tonight?" Teacher Mu was very happy to see Chen An being so thoughtful.

By the way, he invited him to dinner. Except for the Chinese New Year when Chen An sometimes came to visit, he rarely saw this most outstanding student.

Chen An expressed regret by shaking his head, "I have already wasted a day. I have to take a plane to the United States tonight. I am afraid I don't have time this time. I will come to entertain you next time."

"Okay then, go and do your work first and don't delay the filming." Seeing that the other party didn't have time, Teacher Mu had to give up.

He stood up and planned to help Chen An hand in the letter quickly. He picked up the fruit basket in his hand and said, "I'll go over and hand it in to the school for you. Your master's wife and I can't finish all these fruits, so I'll give them to your fellow apprentices to have a taste."

Chen An, who stood up and walked to the door, smiled when he heard what Teacher Mu said, nodded and said, "I'll listen to you. Just consider it as a gift from me, your senior brother."
