Xu Zifan invested 60 million yuan into the movie, of which 30 million was for filming and the other 30 million for publicity. Before all the expenses for the early stage was spent, Xu Zifan continued to make short-term investments with his savings, making fast money and filling his pockets for additional investments for the later stage. Fortunately, the background and characters of this movie were ordinary citizens at grassroots levels, which saved a lot of expenses. Most of the team members were fans of Qiao Zixin. They were willing to help voluntarily and agreed to be paid their salaries after the movie was released. Therefore, their crew members were not overwhelmed.

When the crew was set up and ready to start shooting, the news finally leaked out. Many people were surprised and felt that Qiao Zixin must be going crazy, she was only able to play a low-cost movie made by a new Director. Almost all the crew members were newbies. How could they make anything good? People who made movies were veterans who have trained in the circle for many years!

Nobody knew who posted the news on the internet. Even after Qiao Zixin's popularity went downhill, there were still many people expecting her to return. The news was immediately forwarded countless times and rushed to the top of the search list.

Luo Fenfen, an 18-year-old fan of Qiao Zixin, was now Xu Zifan's assistant. She had nothing else to do besides watch all the news about Qiao Zixin on the Internet every day and report to him of any news outside their control. Luo Fenfen got the job because she was a girl addicted to the internet. She liked to read gossip on the internet. It was the most suitable job for her. She was the first to notice the news that their crew was exposed, and immediately called Xu Zifan to tell him. But Xu Zifan told her to wait, wait for others to dig out some basic information to quarrel about and then tell him.

Although Luo Fenfen was worried, she was convinced by Xu Zifan's words. They all know that Xu Zifan was the 'Guardian' of the group. He had more success than all of them. It was only natural that they should listen to him at this time. Xu Zifan was preparing to shoot the first scene. Luo Fenfen sat in the corner and kept reading the public's opinions on the Internet.

Xu Zifan personally inspected each and every one of them, told each cameraman about their shooting positions and duties, and showed the desired lighting method and effect to the lighting technician. They were all enthusiastic fans. Although they all had foundations in the industry and were all senior filming enthusiasts, they have never made a movie and were not professionals. Xu Zifan patiently answered their questions little by little, which strengthened their confidence and reduced their nervousness.

The recording engineer invited by Qiao Zixin was originally dissatisfied with the team's amateurism and even regretted helping Qiao Zixin. He didn't however, expect to see such a professional Director, who was in charge of the whole scene himself and did it all by himself. He smoked outside and recalled that he seemed to have become accustomed to the various grades and ranks of jobs on set over the years. Naturally, several people would go to get things done for the Director after he would say a few words. He hadn't seen such a hands-on Director for a long time. Moreover, the cast was especially united and full of passion. He looked at Qiao Zixin coming out of the makeup room and suddenly felt as if he had come to the right place after all. Maybe this was Qiao Zixin's big break.

Qiao Zixin was recognized as a beautiful woman. She was bright and beautiful every time she appeared, but currently, her forehead was red and swollen and her mouth was bruised. Everyone who saw her went quiet and her fans felt distressed almost immediately. Xu Zifan stepped forward and looked at Qiao Zixin's costume, nodded and asked, "Are you ready? Is it all right?"

Qiao Zixin's eyes were firm. "No problem, I have already practiced myself."

Xu Zifan gave her an encouraging smile and said, "Come on!". Then he clapped his hands and shouted loudly, "Everyone take their places, and start shooting after the last check. Remember, it is ok to shoot as we practiced yesterday. If the shoot goes wrong, there is no need to be nervous. In the end, I will definitely be able to shoot the best scene. Do you have confidence?"
