"Wow, Young Master Ye is amazing." Meijia immediately started fawning.

However, although the scene was done, Ye Lingchen's frown did not ease away, nor did he joke with them. He continued on the megaphone, "We'll stop today's filming. Everyone gather around please."

His words made everyone feel a little nervous. To the employees, it was highly stressful to be lectured by the boss.

Although Ye Lingchen was not frequently present, they could feel his greatness from the way Li Tai, Xiao Feifei, and the others fawned over him.

"I've just watched the filmed scenes in its entirety. The results were unsatisfactory." Ye Lingchen shook his head. He then said calmly, "Acting skills, filming, editing, and post-production. None of them were satisfactory."

"Let's start with filming. You've all followed Director Li, and this isn't your first time filming. Why then can't you react in time when it's time to switch scenes? Tell me now, what's the focus of this scene here?"

Everyone held their breath and listened to Ye Lingchen obediently.

Although Ye Lingchen was lecturing them, he maintained a casual tone and spoke at a moderate speed. His voice was not overly loud, yet maintained clarity. His confidence was all the more infectious.

At first, due to their lack of understanding and Ye Lingchen's young age, they did not take him seriously. However, very soon, they were alert and started listening to him with rapt attention. At the same time, they started contemplating their previous filming compared to the current script.

The lecture lasted for a full 30 minutes. Ye Lingchen was the one talking most of the time. Every single department of the film crew was mentioned. Occasionally, he would also have a short discussion with the person in charge and taught each individual department on their work.

Due to his lack of actual collaboration with the group, Ye Lingchen needed to get to know them. Only then they could work better as a team.

Xiao Feifei pursed her lips, observing Ye Lingchen from the side dreamily, watching him lead the crew in a daze. At first, she was also listening intently, but over time, she started drifting away.

Ye Lingchen touched on a lot of matters, but they were definitely of utmost importance. Furthermore, he was straight to the point, pointing out the flaw of each scene, leaving them astounded.

It was difficult to imagine a person knowing that many things. From the crew's expression, it was obvious that they all developed a great respect for Ye Lingchen from the bottom of their hearts.

Looking at it from this perspective, Ye Lingchen seemed to have developed the aura of a domineering boss. He was domineering, decisive, quick to act, and spoke powerfully.

Although Ye Lingchen was new in the industry, a true expert would be proven by his actions. At first, everyone did not dare to voice out because of his identity. However, over time, they were truly awed by his experience.

Those without abilities would eventually be exposed and suffer the scorn of others. However, when one was truly capable, he would not be doubted.

Reality was unlike novels of movies. There would not be idiots coming at you to ask for face slapping. Under normal circumstances, as long as there was no conflict of interest or crazy people, most would never intentionally stir up trouble.

Even if they were feeling unhappy, they would just tolerate it. Everyone had reasonable control over their emotions. After all, those that would whine at everything were rare cases.

Especially since Ye Lingchen was also their boss. Putting his ability aside, even if he was a nutcase and teased the actresses, those guys would probably not dare to voice out their grievances.

What was in it for them to go against the boss? Get a raise? Or hoping to replace the boss? Most would fight at the chance to butter him up!

Of course, if Ye Lingchen was really incompetent, even if they do not speak of it, they would still be dissing him in their hearts and would gossip about him behind his back. They would not work wholeheartedly for him and just do the bare minimum. It was the same concept as a crooked foundation.

However, it was obvious that everyone did not think like that anymore. This boss was someone capable, and an expert in the industry. It was impossible for them to pull wool over his eyes.

Ye Lingchen's actions were his attempt to assert his dominance. At the very least, it would dismiss the crew's thoughts to take it easy.

That was considered the first meeting Ye Lingchen had with everyone, fully bringing the entire team together.

"We'll stop here today. Everyone go back and rest up. Starting tomorrow, I'll be here for all the scenes. Let's aim to iron out all the imperfections." Ye Lingchen clapped his hands and gave them an early dismissal.

Everyone knew full well in their hearts that one day of relaxation probably meant that the following day will be them facing the monstrous pressure from Ye Lingchen for their final dash.

Ye Lingchen was not in a rush. The lecture he gave would surely have its effects. He gave them ample time to digest the lesson. That way the effectiveness would be much higher. As the saying goes, sharpening the axe would not delay the job.

Everyone left in a beeline. Ye Lingchen and Xiao Feifei were in no hurry to leave. Surprisingly, Hu Yifei and her gang stayed back as well. They stood in front of Ye Lingchen, looking at him with a nervous expression of their faces.

"Why aren't you guys leaving?" Ye Lingchen asked curiously.

"Young Master Ye, you've mentioned every department, but have not touched on our acting skills. Is it that bad?" Chen Chichi asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Young Master Ye, is it because our acting skills are too bad and disappointing that you have no words?" Lu Xiaobu added.

Ye Lingchen smiled. "Your acting skills are just so-so."

Looking at their dejected expressions, Ye Lingchen added, "However, it's not beyond saving. Acting skills can't be polished overnight. I'll be guiding you guys in the future."

"Really?" Lin Wanyu's eyes brightened, then heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought you're giving upon us."

"Young Master Ye, you're too amazing. With your guidance, I'll be a step closer to be the Best Actress." Chen Meijia howled happily.

"Uhm, Young Master Ye, we were ignorant about you and even had you buy us a meal last time. Uhm...tonight we would like to treat you to a meal," Hu Yifei said softly. She seemed to be expectant but also nervous at the same time.

"This TV series is not even on screen yet. Where did you get the money from?" Ye Lingchen burst out laughing, then nodded. "Sure, we'll have a meal!"

Hu Yifei and the gang immediately took a deep breath, feeling the burden lifted from their shoulders. Smiles of happiness appeared on their faces.

However, just as they were about to leave, a petite figure quickly rushed over. Upon seeing the dismissed crew, she was surprised, but once she spotted Ye Lingchen, her eyes brightened as well.

"Lingchen, Sister Feifei, it's wonderful that you're still here!" Zhao Liangying's cheeks blushed and her breath was slightly labored. It would seem that she had jogged her way here excitedly.

"Take a look at this!" She placed the bag in her hand on the desk. Before anyone could respond, she was already introducing it excitedly. "This bag is made from that giant python's skin! Ahhh, it's just too beautiful! I'll have you know that this bag was already listed as a luxury item. It's the first item in our country to be listed as a luxury item! Sob sob sob...I'm so excited. The entire internet has gone nuts over it!"
