The manor where the PV was going to be filmed was located further into the depths of Yangshuo, inside a dense forest cut off from the rest of the town.
As the bus swerved from a curve in the road, Hui Yin glanced at the changing scenery with interest. They were completely inside a forest now, with only trees flashing outside their window. The rest of the filming crew had now stopped taking pictures, and were busying themselves with their phones, looking bored.
Soon after, the bus stopped in front of a looming gate that was twelve feet tall, which slowly opened to reveal a grandiose manor that wouldn't look too out of place in the Western Zhou period. The whole place was like a modern version of a siheyuan, with a vast courtyard, pagodas, and buildings with traditional concaved roofs. It wouldn't be appropriate to call this as a simple 'manor'. The beauty and the luxury of this place took Hui Yin's breath away.
Even Liu Jun, who was stone-faced from the beginning of the journey up to the end, had a slightly impressed expression on his face.
"As expected of the luxury home they call the 'Tianshang Renjian'," Director Sun couldn't help but gasp.
The reason he had agreed easily to the offer was because, among the famous luxury homes across the country, who had never heard of the estate that was declared as the 'heaven on earth'? It was rumored to have a price of a billion yuan, and when it hit the market a couple of years ago, it set a new price record in China.
"Wow," one of the wardrobe supervisors clutched her phone to her chest as she stared wide-eyed at the manor before her. "Am I dreaming?"
"So beautiful." Another one of the filming crew murmured in an awestruck voice. "If I could live for a night in this place, I wouldn't even mind if I died afterwards."
"It's the 'Tianshang Renjian'!" There was a man who had been searching in Baidu endlessly for days to buy a new home for him and his newly wedded wife. Although he knew he couldn't afford it, he searched for famous luxury homes across China as well. Even if he could only dream about it, who among countless men didn't want to give the best of everything to his wife? Thus, he was curious, and stumbled across an article about Tianshang Renjian. This was the reason why he immediately recognized it.
"Tianshang Renjian?" Some had a look of realization dawning across their faces, while others were still confused. Hui Yin belonged to the latter category. She did not know about Tianshang Renjian.
The bus slowly entered the estate, and the gate closed on its own. It was an automated driveway gate, and the one manning the wireless transmitter must have been informed of their arrival.
"I can't believe we're filming here!"
The girls were gushing with each other, looking lively. Although they were an experienced crew, Tianshang Renjian was still something that they could only aspire to visit. They didn't expect that because of Liu Jun's PV, they would be able to become temporary guests here!
All of them badly wanted to take a photo, but the shadowy forms of guards at every corner made them cautious. There were also countless CCTVs monitoring their every movement. As expected of a billion yuan home, it was tightly guarded. They didn't dare to take any actions that could be interpreted as discourtesy to the owner.
At the center of a vast courtyard, the bus finally stopped and all of them disembarked. Each of them were turning their heads around, wanting to absorb as much of the magnificent view as possible.
Hui Yin was shocked when she peered behind a moon gate and saw hints of what looked like a lake. Just how large was this manor?
"We'll stay for two days and a night here for the filming, and one of the guards had told me that the maids already prepared several guest rooms for each one of us. You can go and take a rest first, we'll begin in the afternoon," Director Sun instructed.
