"Click—"
"Good, this one is approved."
After reviewing the footage, Ren Changwen nodded to Xiao He and Liu Zehang, then said to Liu Zehang, "Lin Yu'an, come and film your solo scenes."
"good."
Liu Zehang walked to his designated spot and stood down. The makeup artist next to him quickly touched up his makeup, while Xiao He, having completed his task, sat down to rest in a relatively quiet spot in the corridor.
Just then, Liu Rulan walked over.
"You just received a phone call."
"Who is it?" Xiao He asked, puzzled.
"He was the director of 'The Thief Catcher' you filmed before," Liu Rulan replied. "I think his name was Lin Yipeng."
Although "The Thief Catcher" was filmed before Liu Rulan signed with Xiao He, she still needs to keep an eye on these projects now.
"Judging by the time, 'The Thieves' should be released soon." Liu Rulan handed her phone to Xiao He. "He's probably here to talk to you about this."
Liu Rulan had not yet met Lin Yipeng, so she did not take it upon herself to discuss this matter with him, but waited for Xiao He to arrive before talking about it.
Xiao He recalled the time and realized that it was indeed about time. He had joined the crew of "The Thief Catcher" after finishing filming "Killing Life". Now that "Killing Life" has been released, the progress of "The Thief Catcher" should be about the same.
So Xiao He greeted Director Ren and went to the lounge with Liu Rulan.
"Hello, Xiao He?"
When I called Lin Yipeng back, the call was answered very quickly.
“It’s me,” Xiao He said.
"Ah, I knew you'd been busy lately." Lin Yipeng breathed a sigh of relief. "I heard you're coming to the island soon, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to contact you later, so I had to talk to you in advance."
"Oh, I see—wait, how did you know I'm going to the island to film a movie soon?"
Xiao He then realized what was happening.
This doesn't make sense. Lin Yipeng is far away from his current film crew, and he doesn't usually post on social media. Where did this guy get this information from?
"Haha, the immortal has his own brilliant plan~" Lin Yipeng smiled smugly, "Anyway, I just know it."
Xiao He: "...I'm starting to wonder if you're some kind of hacker."
They hack into other people's phones all the time; otherwise, how would they know everything?
"What? You're not allowed to have a wide network of connections?"
"Hehe, you don't believe me? Watch out, I'll call the police and have you arrested."
"Alright, then let 'The Thief Catcher' go down with me!"
"Never mind then."
After a "friendly" exchange, Lin Yipeng got down to business.
"The Thief Catcher will officially premiere on Tencent Video on July 9th. Remember to promote it on various platforms when it airs."
Although "The Thief Catcher" was filmed from the beginning according to the aesthetics and standards of theatrical martial arts films, it is ultimately just a web movie and can only be released online. Everyone expected this.
However, even though it's an online film, the necessary exposure still needs to be secured. Lin Yipeng has been traveling to various video platforms with the finished product these days, and finally reached an agreement with Tencent Video on terms and contracts, allowing "The Thief Catcher" to premiere on the Tencent Video platform and receive a certain amount of exposure support.
With a national child star transforming into a martial arts swordsman, and supporting actor Xiao He gradually making his mark in the entertainment industry, coupled with Lin Yipeng's mysterious network of connections and the quality of "The Thief Catcher" itself, everyone still believes that "The Thief Catcher" will have a good outcome.
Xiao He noted down the time and then agreed, "Okay, but I might already be on the island when it's released. If there are any problems then, you can contact my agent."
"Sister Liu, I know her," Lin Yipeng drawled. "Don't worry, I'll contact her about the rest of the situation."
"Okay, then let's make it July 9th. I wish 'The Thief Catcher' a huge success."
"Thanks."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao He handed Lin Yipeng's contact information to Liu Rulan, saying, "I had completely forgotten about this. I'm sorry, I should have given you his contact information earlier."
Liu Rulan picked up her phone, opened the contact card that Xiao He had given her, and then raised an eyebrow.
Oh? This Lin Yipeng is already in her contacts.
That's interesting.
Because Liu Rulan had so many contacts, she only remembered who someone was and when she added them by opening the contact notes in the contact list.
Then Liu Rulan's expression suddenly turned strange: "Director Lin Yipeng, how did you get in touch with him?"
Xiao He: "Huh?"
Xiao He recalled for a moment and then replied, "When I was on the set of 'Killing Life,' senior Zhuo Jianhua recommended me. He said that his friend's child also wanted to act and was looking for actors. I was a good fit, so I went to meet him and that's how we met."
Liu Rulan smiled kindly as she thought of the contact information she had gone through so much trouble to obtain.
Xiao He: "...Sister Liu, please don't do this, I'm scared."
Liu Rulan gritted her teeth, looking at Xiao He who still seemed oblivious to his good fortune, and walked out with her arms crossed in annoyance: ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) "I'll go help you prepare for the upcoming promotion. You need to keep this in mind these next few days, promote it more, do more business, 'The Thief Catcher' has to be a huge hit!"
Xiao He: "Okay?"
Why does Sister Liu look like she's about to eat someone?
Who has offended her again?
...
After completing filming the scenes for "Law of the Jungle" before the characters landed on the island in Shanghai, the crew was finally ready to head to Shanghai.
When talking about Haishi, one naturally thinks of the sea, beaches, coconut juice, seafood... and this is Xiao He's first time visiting Haishi.
Whether it was psychological or not, the first thing Xiao He smelled when he stepped off the plane was a faint sea breeze. The smell wasn't unpleasant; on the contrary, it made him feel relaxed and refreshed, as if he could smell the scent of freedom.
The only downside was the heat wave that hit us in the face along with the sea breeze.
July in Haishi is undoubtedly hot and sunny. Today's temperature has already reached 32℃, and the ultraviolet rays are even worse. It's practically a tanning paradise. If you don't take proper sun protection measures, you can look like a completely different skin color in the morning and afternoon.
For this reason, Liu Rulan had Xiao He apply sunscreen beforehand and forced him to cover his entire body with sun-protective clothing.
Even the director emphasized that the key members of the crew should apply sunscreen and take precautions before leaving the airport.
Xiao He didn't actually want to wear these things, especially the sun protection clothing. He was already hot, and wearing these clothes and pants made him even hotter, as if he were being tortured by the heat.
Liu Rulan seemed to sense Xiao He's reluctance. She adjusted her sun protection mask and said calmly, "If you want to be visibly wicked in the movie, then take it off."
Xiao He: "..."
So what if you get a tan? Why are you talking about turning dark?
