144: "God of Gamblers" is about to start filming, and Lin Pei has landed in Macau.

After reading through the comments, Wang Feng became even angrier.

Isn't the entertainment industry the most critical? Can everyone tolerate Lin Pei lying about his age?

He checked just a few days ago; Lin Pei's encyclopedia entry clearly stated he was only twenty-three.

This is obviously fraud!

The last time he, Wang Feng, was on the trending list, it was because he cracked a high note, and then these netizens mocked and cursed him for a whole day!

Why are they so tolerant when it comes to Lin Pei?

This is too hypocritical! It's simply outrageous!

Wang Feng gritted his teeth and instructed his assistant.

"What are those two Paparazzi taking pictures of? Did I ask them to photograph mountain climbing or the Shaolin Temple?"

"They didn't capture a single thing I wanted them to shoot; they were just so enthusiastic about photographing the night climb..."

"With this level of efficiency, why should they get paid? Deduct the remaining half!"

The assistant bit her lip.

"Ah? Those two squatted outside Lin Pei's door for a whole month..."

"Yesterday during the climb, their knees were bruised all over; they looked quite miserable..."

Wang Feng snorted in anger.

"Serves them right! Two idiotic fools."

"If the job isn't done, they get no money, period!"

The assistant had no choice but to obey her boss.

The next day, the assistant called to deliver the bad news to the two Paparazzi.

At this time, the two Paparazzi were already on a plane bound for Macau.

The Film Crew for "God of Gamblers" was about to start, and as a qualified team of Paparazzi, they naturally had to follow Lin Pei to the set for follow-up coverage.

Upon receiving the call, the two were furious, nearly overturning the table in anger.

What kind of trash Heavenly King Wang was, blatantly breaching the contract.

They didn't even know how difficult the covert surveillance task he requested was; this Lin Pei was truly a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.

He looked quite handsome too, and he had an unusually large number of fans.

As a result, forget dating, he had absolutely no entertainment activities outside of filming.

He was practically an acting fanatic.

The people he interacted with most often were actually two Great Monks.

Taking on the job of tailing him was like running into terrible luck.

If they had tailed Wang Feng instead, given his messy private life, they would have certainly completed the mission in minutes.

It was just bad luck... However, they still possessed basic professional ethics; since the mission wasn't complete, they had to keep following him.

Traveling thousands of miles, sparing no expense to follow him to Macau, they never expected that Wang Feng, that Bastard, would breach the contract first!

Fine!

If this person is unjust, don't blame them for being unrighteous.

Didn't Wang Feng want to make headlines?

Then they would expose his despicable actions and push him onto the front page!

...The flight took nearly a day and a night to reach Macau.

After disembarking, Lin Pei and Restrain Arrogance and Impetuosity got into a car heading to the Film Crew's hotel.

Macau was bustling yet full of local flavor. Restrain Arrogance and Impetuosity only looked out the window, enjoying the rare moment of quiet during the ride.

Not long after, the car arrived at the hotel. Several scenes for the movie were going to utilize a part of this hotel's casino for on-location shooting.

The group got out of the car and entered the hotel. It was truly luxurious inside, gleaming with gold, making Restrain Arrogance and Impetuosity's bald heads look less conspicuous.

The Film Crew was still busy preparing the final set dressing. The Director had already arrived early and was moving around, giving instructions to the staff.

Seeing Lin Pei, The Director immediately greeted him, his surprise impossible to hide.

"Oh, Lin Pei, it's only been a short time, but you look even more like Ko Chun himself."

"Your ability to enter the character ahead of time is truly incredible."

Lin Pei was also very pleased to hear this.

This meant his month of dedicated study hadn't been in vain.

"Director, your praise is too much. I've been studying the role of Ko Chun this past month."

"So, it has had some effect?"

The Director looked full of admiration.

He heard from Star Lord that Lin Pei had a habit of getting into character before filming even began and memorizing all his lines in advance.

It was rare to find such a dedicated, treasure actor.

"By the way, where is Star Lord? Didn't he come with you all?"

Monk raised one hand in a gesture.

"Amitabha."

"Star Lord said he gambled on his flight and will arrive a bit later."

"..."

Lin Pei felt a wave of helplessness.

One person dared to make up such a story, and the other dared to spread it.

Shouldn't he just say he mistakenly took sleeping pills as vitamins and consequently overslept and missed his flight?

After chatting for a while, The Director told him to rest briefly before returning to his work.

Lin Pei had just looked around when a strikingly handsome man walked over.

Lin Pei recognized him—wasn't this the currently popular singer and actor Lau Tak Wah from the Hong Kong entertainment scene?

That's right, the male lead supporting role, Chan Tau Zai, in this "God of Gamblers" was played by Lau Tak Wah.

No wonder he was here.

Lau Tak Wah actively stepped forward to shake hands, his face full of reverence.

"Hello, Brother Lin. I've admired you for a long time. I heard your aura is powerful in person, and seeing you today, it truly lives up to your reputation."

"Brother Lin, I have a favor to ask."

Lin Pei hadn't expected Lau Tak Wah to be so familiar right away and ask him for a favor immediately.

"What is it?"

Lau Tak Wah chuckled slyly.

"It's rumored that Brother Lin's footwork is exceptional, and his kicks have various beneficial effects. I wanted to ask if you could give me one kick?"

Since he had signed so many autographs for him, they were passively acquainted to some extent; Lin Pei felt this small favor was no trouble at all.

"Sure, no problem."

Seeing that Lau Tak Wah indeed looked listless, Lin Pei raised his foot and aimed for his kidney.

Lau Tak Wah was shocked and quickly dodged.

"Brother Lin, you misunderstood. I don't actually need it there."

"I just didn't rest well on the plane; I actually have plenty of energy."

"I just feel my face isn't perfect enough. How about giving my face a kick instead?"

Lin Pei looked at Lau Tak Wah as if he were an idiot.

Kicking the face?

Has this brother watched too many movies? Did he think Lin Pei's technique could still give him a 'beautiful' effect?

Besides, he was already so handsome; why wasn't he satisfied?

Was he stimulated by Lin Pei's peerless looks?

When two somewhat narcissistic people meet, Lin Pei clearly possessed more rationality.

"That probably won't work."

"This foot technique is for internal use. It won't have any effect on the face and might even get it kicked and disfigured."

Lau Tak Wah touched his face, a flash of terror crossing his eyes.

"Ah... then forget it, Brother Lin. Sorry to bother you."

...Not long after, The Director finished his tasks and called Lin Pei and Lau Tak Wah over.

"You two, after lunch, we'll start the pre-filming training."

Lau Tak Wah was puzzled.

"Director, but the other actors haven't all arrived yet. Shouldn't we wait for them?"

The Director waved his hand.

"That's not necessary; you and Lin Pei can start first."

"When the other actors arrive, they can join you then."

After The Director explained, Lin Pei realized that the pre-filming training he mentioned involved going to a casino to gamble.

He called it on-site training to let them adapt beforehand.

Lin Pei was certainly enlightened; it was the first time he had heard of a director throwing actors into a casino to gamble during closed-set training.

The Director also gave each of them some starting capital, saying that anything they won was theirs, and anything they lost was his.

Everyone marveled that such a good director was truly rare in this world.
