32: My stealing skills are a little faster than a magician's.
Yan Song tried his best to straighten his waist, but his stomach hurt so much that his face turned red from holding it in.
"Ah... I am Yan Song."
Lin Pei smiled.
"Um, I'd like to refute what you just said."
"My stealing skill should be a little stronger than an ordinary Magician's."
Yan Song obviously didn't believe it. How could an ordinary actor be faster than a Magician?
But he didn't have time to explain to Lin Pei, because if they talked any longer, his pants wouldn't be safe.
In an instant, he had turned and rushed into the toilet.
After Yan Song went in, Lin Pei looked at the two items in his hand and couldn't help but praise himself.
This hand speed is indeed excellent!
...Five minutes later.
A helpless cry came from the restroom.
"Is anyone there? Someone help me."
The Celebrities who were rehearsing looked at each other; the voice sounded a bit familiar.
"Isn't that Yan Song's voice? What happened to him?"
"It sounds like it's coming from the men's restroom."
"Let's go, let's check it out."
Everyone came to the restroom door, and a few male actors asked inside.
"Is that Yan Song? What's wrong?"
"Whoa! This smell, did he get an upset stomach?"
"My toilet paper is gone, and my phone is nowhere to be found."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He really is a character.
Working in a Film Crew, you really encounter all sorts of strange things.
The Streamer had already darted to the restroom door to film.
The live stream was bustling as if it had exploded.
"I can't believe it, Celebrities don't even bring toilet paper when they go to the restroom?"
"This time it's a live broadcast across the whole network, how embarrassing."
"Doesn't he know to call a friend?"
"Didn't you just hear? He said his phone was gone."
"Isn't this Yan Song a Magician? Just conjure up some toilet paper."
"You think a Magician can create something out of nothing? You still need to have it first."
No one among the crowd gathered at the restroom door made a move.
Yan Song was arrogant and had offended everyone long ago.
Everyone seemed to want to see him make a fool of himself; no one was willing to step forward to help.
"Look, why aren't these Celebrities and Film Crew staff doing anything?"
"I guess Yan Song usually has poor interpersonal skills, and these people are all waiting to see him make a fool of himself."
"That's not kind, not kind at all, but I like it."
"I'm curious, what will Yan Song use to wipe himself in the end? Fingers or socks?"
"Ah... I can't think about it, you guys are too dirty."
"Holy moly, your comments have a 'flavor' to them."
"No, no, I heard Yan Song is a germaphobe, I bet he'll squat in there until he turns to stone."
"…"
Inside the restroom, Yan Song roared a few more times, but only heard hushed laughter from outside.
He wasn't stupid and quickly understood everything.
"Who the hell stole my toilet paper and phone? I won't let you off!"
"Wuwu..."
"Lin Pei, was it you!"
But he clearly didn't remember feeling anything on his body, so how was it stolen?
For a moment, he began to doubt himself again.
Before going into the toilet, did he just put his things down somewhere?
After Yan Song squatted inside for a while longer, a staff member finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He grabbed a roll of toilet paper and ran over with a "thump-thump-thump."
He usually dealt with Yan Song a lot and knew that Yan Song was extremely harsh to people.
Those in this line of work couldn't avoid him, so helping him now would be exchanging a favor.
Maybe his attitude towards him would be better in the future.
"Brother Song, I've put it outside the door for you, just take it yourself."
"Hey, isn't this your phone, Brother Song? It's right outside."
Yan Song reached out one hand, felt the toilet paper roll, and with the other hand, felt his phone.
"Damn it, who is it? Who is playing a trick on me?"
Soon after, Yan Song rushed out, pulling up his pants.
Seeing so many people gathered outside, his sweat-drenched face was a mix of green and white.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone forget to bring toilet paper to the restroom? Go on, scram!"
Everyone laughed and dispersed.
Although the Streamer also moved further away, she still filmed Yan Song for a while, not quite satisfied.
Because his appearance was just too funny.
The bullet comments in the live stream were also a flood of "hahahahaha."
"Hahaha, this Magician is quite interesting."
"I think he looks like the kind of person with road rage; you have to be careful if you meet him on the road."
"But seriously, do you really think someone would put their phone outside when they go to the toilet?"
"It looks like someone is playing a trick on him."
"Streamer, help us find some clues, I love watching this."
"Yeah, Streamer, try to investigate!"
...After a series of farces, the set was almost complete.
The Director nodded in satisfaction.
"Actors in position!"
"Prepare to shoot!"
"Lights ready, camera set."
"Wait a moment, Director."
Lin Pei's voice rang out.
Everyone looked at him.
The actor with the action scene almost sprained his back.
What is this actor going to do?
Yan Song glared gloomily at Lin Pei.
Hmph, Lin Pei loves to show off, so let him.
It'll be good if he makes a big mistake and gets caught by the Director.
Then he'd be kicked out of the Film Crew, and I could take his place.
"What is it, Lin Pei?"
Having witnessed this kid's perverse methods, the Director didn't dare to say anything harsh.
He was afraid that his little secrets would be exposed by Lin Pei.
Lin Pei pointed to the set, "Director, our first scene is being filmed here, right?"
"That's right."
"But Director, the set arrangement is a bit different from what's written in our script."
The first scene to be filmed today was the theft of the famous painting 'water lily' from the library.
The thief, played by Lin Pei, makes an appearance, and the method of theft is as follows.
The thief does not enter the museum but first opens the museum's skylight, using black technology to cause a brief power outage in the museum.
In the darkness, the thief uses a crossbow to launch a steel-wired fixing device from the skylight, positioning it above the 'water lily,' covering the real painting with a highly accurate fake.
Then, the thief uses a four-way hook to invert the real and fake paintings, pulling the real painting out through the skylight.
With the real painting secured, the device is retrieved, and the skylight is sealed.
The entire process took only 18 seconds.
When the museum's power was restored, everything was as usual.
However, looking at the set arrangement, the painting was now placed in a display case.
The Director took the script and glanced at it, also discovering the problem.
He turned to ask the Prop Master.
"Old Sun, your scene arrangement is indeed incorrect."
"Do you mean for the thief to just open the box?"
The Prop Master frowned deeply.
"Director, the original theft method in the script sounded really impressive."
"But it's difficult to achieve with props, and this series of actions is not easy to complete in reality."
"Our staff and I tried for a long time, and we couldn't even get the position of that launching device right, and the deviation was very large."
"Later... later I reported it to our Screenwriter, and it was changed..."
The Director was displeased.
"If you had difficulties, why didn't you tell me? You told the Screenwriter, and the Screenwriter changed the script without notifying me."
At this moment, the Screenwriter walked out from the crowd.
"Sorry, Director, I was busy and forgot."
"At the time, I told Old Sun that if it didn't work, he could change it."
"But before I could tell you, he changed it."
"Oh dear, I really forgot about this..."
The Screenwriter looked at the script in his hand.
"Director, why don't we just change it this way?"
"Although the other way would look good when filmed, it's really difficult to do well."
"Besides, in reality, no matter how skilled a thief is, they couldn't be that fast."
"Actually, I thought about using AI synthesis at the time..."
The Director waved his hand, "No, no, no AI, just live action."
