Soon, three days passed.
On this day, Li Fan stood on the stage that had been set up, looking at Tashigi and others in the audience with excitement.
"After several days, we've finally finished filming our movie."
"Rejoice, everyone, the movie is now completed."
"Next, when I finish the post-production, the movie that all of you have worked so hard on will be officially released."
"I won't make you wait for long. Just get a good night's sleep, and you can watch the movie tomorrow."
"For now, let's cheer and celebrate."
"I've brought the best chef from Loguetown to prepare a feast for everyone, so feel free to enjoy."
"Of course, I know everyone is eager about their pay, and you can come to me to collect it after the official movie premiere tomorrow."
Upon hearing Li Fan's words, all the staff and actors on set cheered.
They congratulated themselves for being part of such an excellent movie and for earning good money.
As waiters served plates of delicious food, the staff began to chat happily with their familiar friends.
They were all eagerly anticipating the premiere of their remarkable film the next day.
Li Fan poured himself a glass of champagne and took a sip, sharing in everyone's joy.
After each scene was filmed, the system swiftly handled the post-processing.
If Li Fan desired, he could even premiere it right away.
However, to avoid being overly extravagant and to let the actors and staff, who had been working diligently with him for so long, celebrate, he decided to wait until the following day for the release.
"It took such a short time to film a movie. Perhaps I'm a genius director," he thought to himself.
Although he thought this way, Li Fan also understood that this depended on the actors' acting skills and physical fitness.
If they weren't generally in good health, capable of performing challenging movements, and possessed excellent acting skills, even with Li Fan's strong directing skills and the shooting tools provided by the system, they wouldn't have been able to complete the movie in such a short time.
"Li Fan, can we talk?" Suddenly, Nami's voice rang in Li Fan's ears.
Li Fan turned his head and looked at Nami beside him.
At this moment, Nami had removed her wig, but she was still wearing the costume specially designed by Li Fan.
Li Fan had to admit that Nami, wearing Tohsaka Rin's costume, had a unique allure.
Her slender, snow-white legs had an undeniable charm that could fascinate any man. [ T/N- It has already charmed me.🙈 ]
"What's wrong, Nami? Is there something on your mind?"
"Are you looking to claim your reward?"
Nami shook her head.
"It's not that. I have other matters to discuss."
"Li Fan, when you have some free time, can you accompany me to my village?"
"Visit your village?" Li Fan tilted his head.
"That's right," Nami replied, and then proceeded to explain everything about the Arlong Pirates' invasion of Cocoyasi Village.
"So that's it. You want me to help you deal with those guys from the Arlong Pirates first, right?" Li Fan nodded, "Alright, I promise you."
"Li Fan, I promise you that if you help me, I can sign a contract with you and become your exclusive actor... Wait, did you agree?!" Nami's eyes widened, surprised and astonished as she gazed at Li Fan.
"Of course. Since you've become my exclusive actor, it's our destiny, right?" Li Fan said with a smile, "When it comes to people who bully my actors, I'll have to teach them a lesson."
"By the way, I haven't had a chance to see a fish-man yet."
"Speaking of which, here's a contract, go ahead and sign it."
With that, Li Fan took out a piece of paper from the side, wrote down some terms, and handed it to Nami.
"A contract?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to be my exclusive actress, Nami? You mentioned it. So, let's sign a contract." Li Fan patted Nami on the shoulder.
"The contract period is tentatively set at ten years. During this time, you'll be my official employee and will act in the roles I've prepared for you."
"Of course, you don't have to worry about your compensation. I'll never skimp on actors' pay."
Nami took the pen Li Fan handed to her, somewhat dazed. After reading the contract's contents, she signed her name without hesitation.
"Then, happy cooperation, Ms. Nami," Li Fan extended his hand and shook hands with Nami. "After the movie is released in Loguetown, I'll accompany you back to Cocosia Village."
"Of course, with me around, you won't need to give your hard-earned money to those pirates."
"I'll handle them."
As he spoke, Li Fan gave Nami a thumbs up with a very confident smile.
"Thank you, Li Fan!" Nami excitedly hugged Li Fan, her face getting closer and closer to his.
Just when Li Fan thought he might feel Nami's red lips, she abruptly let go of him, as if she had remembered something.
"Li Fan, I have a sister named Nojiko. How about I suggest her to come and act in your movies?"
"Trust me, she's a good actress too."
"Of course, I know you won't be cheap with her salary."
"Oh, I get it!" Li Fan looked at Nami, who had berry-shaped eyes, and nodded in surprise. "Nami, it's not enough for you to earn money alone, you want your whole family to join the hunt for gold at my place."
"Hehe, director, your pay is quite generous," Nami smiled. "This is much better than taking money from others."
Let's not even talk about whether the money could be better than what Li Fan offered for stealing the pirates' treasure. The sens of security alone makes Nami prefer to be Li Fan's actress.
"Stealing money from others? Nami, are you a thief?"
Suddenly, Tashigi's voice came from behind Nami.
Nami's body immediately tensed.
Although Tashigi was an actor in the same crew, Nami hadn't forgotten that Tashigi was also part of the navy.
As a thief, she was well within the Navy's jurisdiction.
"Tashigi, Nami, let's not get into that. Let's have a drink." Li Fan handed two glasses of champagne to Nami and Tashigi. "Today, let's all enjoy ourselves."
