"Ahh right this way, you came at the right time we are about to film a major scene," the Director said turning to the side and leading him to the seat next to the director seat behind the camera.
As Zhou Jianyu walked forward the crew and cast said their greetings. The female lead Xue Meili and male lead Liang Cheng were already in costumes conversing with the Stunt master. From the set arrangements, Zhou Jianyu could already tell that it was a fight scene.
The lead characters and other characters were all dressed in black ancient spyware. They held on to various prop swords and daggers and stood around the stunt master. The stunt master who was dressed in a mauve coloured tracksuit and white sneakers pointed back and forth as he spoke to the cast.
while the members of the stunt crew went about the set, checking the props. they did want any accident to occur that might injure either the crew or the actors. The on-set emergency medical crew were on stand by in case of any accidents.

About twenty minutes later Director Liu walked over to the camera and taking a seat next to Zhou Jianyu made the count and the scene began.
By the end of the Scene, Zhou Jianyu was very impressed, their movement was well coordinated, one could see that the Stunts were choreographed by a master.
The actors on per with every movement that the scene brought a smile to his face.
.
"That was good," Zhou Jianyu said smiling.
"Thanks your compliments means a lot CEO Zhou," Director Liu said.
"Don't mention when you are done for the day I'll treat the cast and crew to dinner" Zhou Jianyu said.
"Oh thanks, I will let everyone know," Director Liu said when a phone began to ring,
He didn't feel any vibration so it wasn't his. He'd turned to the side to check if it belonged to other members of the crew next to him cause it sounded close by.
When Zhou Jianyu brought his phone out of his suit jacket and holding it up said
"Excuse me, Director Liu, I need to get this" and walked away to answer the call.
"Hello," Zhou Jianyu said.
"Zhou Jianyu? A male voice asked.
"Yes, this is He" Zhou Jianyu replied.
"It's Zhao Shirong, I got your number from Cheng Juan," Zhao Shirong said.
"Okay" Zhou Jianyu.
"I'll cut to the chase, am in Red room restaurant, come over let's have a meal," Zhao Shirong said.
"I'll be there," Zhou Jianyu said.
"I'll be expecting you," Zhao Shirong said and cut the call.
"Right this way sir, you can go in," a waitress said as they got to the private room.
Nodding Zhou Jianyu opened the door and walked in, Zhao Shirong was already seated at one end. He walked over and took a seat opposite Bai Zhenzhen's cousin Zhao Shirong.
Zhao Shirong was the eldest young master of the Zhao family and heir to the Zhao family. He was the next head of the family after his grandfather Old master Zhao.
The Zhao family were one of the ten noble families of C nations They were the leading family in medicine and owned the country's biggest hospital and one of the top internationally acclaimed hospitals in the world "The First citizen's Hospital".
Most members of the family were International acclaimed doctors in their field, Zhao Shirong like most members of his family was already a well known cardiotoxic surgeon.
"I'm sorry to call you on such short notice but we didn't have much time last night so I decided to call you and get to know you better. You are dating my favourite cousin" Zhao Shirong said smiling.
"I didn't know what to get you so I ordered everything" He continued.
"Thanks," Zhou Jianyu said and began eating.
"I don't have much to say, I just want to make sure that, we are clear on your intentions towards Zhenzhen. You may not know this but I grew up with Zhenzhen so she is more than a cousin to me. I wouldn't like her to get hurt" Zhao Shirong said.
"My intentions are very honest, I love her, I want to give her the very best. I would never hurt her neither do I want to ever see her hour that's how much I love her" Zhou Jianyu said.
"That is still yet to be seen, I was out of the country for four years and lost track of all that happened but am back now so if you ever hurt her even a little I would make your life a living hell," Zhao Shirong said with a cold smile worthy of his alias "the Smiling Devil".
"I would expect nothing less of you," Zhou Jianyu said.
"Good I already looked into you, Mr Zhou. I have nothing against you or your past but if any of it hurts a single hair on her head I will pay you back tenfold" Zhao Shirong said.
"I would never let that happen," Zhou Jianyu said.
"Good, I'll be watching you," Zhao Shirong said.
After filming for the day Bai Zhenzhen returned to her hotel room to find that it was empty, it would seem that Zhou Jianyu wasn't back yet. She had a bath and began watching a movie. The movie was coming to an end when Zhou Jianyu walked in, after giving her a kiss he walked into the bathroom to wash up.
"Chateau Margaux" Bai Zhenzhen said holding up the wine and facing him.
"You met with Elder brother Shirong"
"I did," Zhou Jianyu said surprised that she knew of his meeting with her cousin, he doubts she got wind of it from Zhao Shirong.
"Chateau Margaux is Elder Brother Shirong's favourite brand he gives it out only to people he likes. Judging by his expression last night he was most definitely interested in you it's safe to assume that He called you out today. My cousin can be very over am sorry if he made you feel bad that's just the way he is" she said smiling.
"It was nothing, we just had lunch" Zhou Jianyu.
"Oh really, then that okay let's get some sleep," Bai Zhenzhen said.
