When Tao Wei saw the post-production team in front of him that seemed to have been composed of a combination of Chinese and Hollywood post-production crew, he was stunned for a few moments.
The post-production team was extremely impressive as they had cooperated with the directors of many blockbuster films before.
Tao Wei was a little conceited and he said, “Jinyi, uh, um… we’re just filming a movie that revolves around a realistic theme. Isn’t it a little too exaggerated to hire them? Second Young Mistress Huo must have spent a bomb!”
Yan Jinyi replied him perfunctorily.
The post-production team was hired by Huo Xishen who seemed to know the boss of the post-production. It was strange for Huo Xishen to do such a thing too.
Yan Jinyi recalled that Huo Xishen’s car was still parked at the lot below the restaurant. “The combination of the best post-production team and the hottest new celebrities. Let’s wait and see the end result.”
After saying those words confidently, Yan Jinyi grabbed her purse and left.
The success of a movie depends highly on the various departments of a production team, in addition to the cast, storyline, and script.
The post-production of a movie involved a series of issues such as editing, accounting for a large part of the fluidity and flow.
Tao Wei rubbed his hands and began to greet them.

Yan Jinyi saw Huo Xishen’s low-profile luxury car as soon as she headed downstairs.
She looked around sneakily like a thief before pulling the door open and getting inside.
As usual, Assistant Wen was driving while Huo Xishen was seated at the back with his eyes closed.
“Mr. Huo, what are you looking for me for?”
Huo Xishen looked at Yan Jinyi with a slight sideways glance and paced one hand atop the other on his knee. “I’m going to take you to see the world.”
‘See the world? What does Doggy Huo mean? Is he mocking me for not having broad horizons?’
‘I’ve even met the emperor’s father and robbed a prince before. He calls that lack of broad horizons?’
When she arrived at the destination with Huo Xishen, Yan Jinyi sadly realized that she had indeed not seen much of the world.
Huo Xishen took her on a cruise ship.
It was the most luxurious cruise ship in the country, for which the boarding ticket cost at least 100,000 yuan.
There would be an auction tonight and most of the guests were married couples and foreigners.
Yan Jinyi was holding Huo Xishen’s arm and dozing off while hearing him chat with some foreigners.
‘We’re all earthlings but why are there so many different languages in this world? Why can’t we have a universal language and share a common, unified culture?’
“Darling,” Huo Xishen said as suddenly looked down at Yan Jinyi. He introduced in a gentle voice, “This is Mrs. Parsons.”
Yan Jinyi looked at the foreign lady standing in front of her who had blonde hair and blue eyes and was almost 20 years older than her.
She took great care of her appearance and was obviously a wealthy lady.
“Hello, hello!” Yan Jinyi took the initiative to extend her hand for a handshake.
Mrs. Parsons was particularly enthusiastic and pulled Yan Jinyi in for an embrace after shaking her hand. She then talked to Huo Xishen in a language that Yan Jinyi didn’t understand.
“What is she saying?”
Huo Xishen suddenly put one arm around her shoulders and said, “She said that you’re gorgeous and hopes that we will have a child soon.”
Yan Jinyi chuckled with an insincere smile.
‘A child? Oh, please! Do I seem like I’m interested in being a mother?’
The thought of a little kid clinging to her in the future gave Yan Jinyi the goosebumps.
‘The idea of it is so scary!’
Huo Xishen finally brought Yan Jinyi to the auction venue when the auction started.
Yan Jinyi was surprised to find that although the guests of the auction were all powerful and wealthy bigwigs, they were all exceptionally respectful towards Huo Xishen.
‘Is Doggy Huo running some secret side business? Like threatening these people to obey him?’
“The target audience of the auction this time is overseas clients,” Huo Xishen explained.
Yan Jinyi finally realized why there were so many foreigners.
