47: At the wrap party, Ze recommended the lead actor to me.

Before long, Lin Pei saw Xu Feng out of the film set.

Before getting into the car, Xu Feng asked him,

"Little Lin, do you know why I've always believed you were innocent this time?"

Lin Pei shook his head.

He really wanted to know.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't any police officer who saw his techniques...

...be like Officer Xiao Chen and suspect that he had a criminal record?

But Lin Pei didn't dare to ask.

He was afraid that asking would make Xu Feng waver and arrest him again.

Xu Feng smiled.

"Because I know that old Master of the Little Lis Flying Dagger also used to practice theft techniques."

"Before filming 'Little Li Flying Dagger', he was always providing theft technique guidance to the Film Crew."

"As his top disciple, it's not surprising that you've practiced these as well."

"It's just that you've surpassed your master."

"You and the old master are both dedicated professionals. It's understandable to work hard on a skill for your career."

"Little Lin, you probably didn't expect me to know so much. See? With this reason in mind, why didn't you explain yourself?"

So that was it.

Lin Pei gave a sheepish smile.

He truly didn't know his master had practiced theft techniques.

How could he explain?

Wasn't this just a coincidence?

"Captain Xu, I just felt that the police would definitely prove my innocence."

"See? Isn't everything cleared up now?"

Xu Feng nodded.

"True enough."

"Little Lin, keep up the good work with your acting. I'm heading back to the station."

After they parted ways, a familiar electronic voice suddenly rang in Lin Pei's ear.

[Ding...]

[brocade pouch opening, please wait.]

Lin Pei was stunned.

Did the system just reboot? It's only executing the command from several days ago now?

By the time it finishes, the opportunity will have long passed.

Now that everything is resolved, isn't opening a brocade pouch a waste?

"No, no, no..."

"Don't open it, don't open it, just don't open it..."

[Ding... Action canceled.]

Lin Pei breathed a sigh of relief, tucked the glorious twenty thousand yuan and the medal into his jacket, and turned back to the Film Crew to continue filming... A few days later, at the filming site.

Lin Pei was in casual clothes, with his baseball cap pulled low.

"Swish!"

With a hook of his long arm, he quickly retracted the tools.

Then, with one hand on the windowsill, he flipped out of the window stylishly.

The Film Crew members were full of praise.

"Isn't Teacher Lin Pei's movement just too beautiful?"

"Not just the movements, his eye acting is also great."

"Yeah, he's definitely a future star, a true method actor."

"..."

"Cut!"

The director held a megaphone.

"I announce that 'the gate of rebirth' has officially wrapped for everyone!"

"Yay~"

"It's finally wrapped~"

Everyone cheered in excitement.

Lin Pei had already climbed back in through the window.

During this time, he felt he had really enjoyed the acting process.

Although a theft occurred on the first day of filming and he was forced to visit the police station...

...everything went smoothly after the clarification.

"Thank you all for your hard work during this time!"

Ever since the theft incident and the removal of the black sheep Yan Song, the director seemed much more polite to everyone.

"Today is our last day on set. I'd like to treat everyone to a whole roasted lamb. Please try to stay."

"Whole roasted lamb?"

"Sounds good."

"Stay, everyone stay."

Zhang Ze quietly approached Lin Pei.

"Lin Pei, how about it? Stay tonight and let's have a few drinks?"

After filming together for so long, Lin Pei and Zhang Ze had become quite familiar.

Since there was food, Lin Pei definitely wasn't leaving. He nodded.

"Sure thing, Teacher Zhang Ze."

"Where's Xiao Kai?"

Zhang Ze gestured with his hands.

"He said he was going to practice some 'left hand, right hand, one slow motion' thing."

...Evening.

Several chefs in white uniforms and tall hats arrived at the set with the whole roasted lamb and various side dishes, and began their busy work.

The Film Crew staff were busy arranging tables and chairs.

With a large crowd of people, it looked very lively.

The director walked toward Lin Pei.

"Lin Pei, I hired these chefs from a five-star hotel. What do you think?"

"I'll have to toast you properly later and give you a formal apology."

Lin Pei waved his hand.

"Director, you're overstating it."

"That matter is in the past. Besides, haven't you already compensated me?"

When the director saw Lin Pei wave his hand, he instinctively took a step back with a "swish," clearly still having some lingering trauma.

He clutched his body and only let go once he felt safe.

"Lin Pei, I'll definitely look for you for my next project."

"You're really something, kid. I think if you're given more time, winning a best actor award will definitely be no problem."

"I appreciate the kind words, Director," Lin Pei replied, his eyes showing concern.

"Director, now that we've wrapped, you should take a good rest."

"If you're sick, you should go to the hospital."

The director felt a pang of bitterness.

It wasn't that he was sick; wasn't he just scared out of his wits by him?

He was a good actor, just a bit hard on the director... About half an hour later.

The dishes on the table gradually became more abundant, and the whole roasted lamb was served.

Since there were so many people in the Film Crew, they had to be split into several tables.

Lin Pei looked for a seat while eating.

Based on his status in the Film Crew, he wouldn't normally sit at the main table.

"Lin Pei, come, sit here."

The director called out directly.

Naturally, no one had any objections.

Because Lin Pei's performance in the Film Crew during this time was obvious to all; he had done a great job in every scene.

His eyes and movements were spot on, and his performance was seamless. He was practically a thief himself... cough... a veteran actor to the core... Lin Pei didn't stand on ceremony and went over to sit down.

He scanned his surroundings.

He was familiar with everyone at this table. Besides a few heads of the Film Crew, they were the lead actors of 'the gate of rebirth'.

Seeing everyone seated, the director took out some national liquor and poured a glass for Lin Pei.

"Lin Pei, let me pour you a glass."

"There were many unpleasant things before. I hope we can wipe the slate clean."

Lin Pei accepted it politely.

"Director, let's not mention it."

"Promise me, just take care of your health."

The director coughed.

"Alright."

...After a few glasses of national liquor, everyone was a bit tipsy.

Zhang Ze's face was flushed from drinking.

"Lin Pei, you haven't decided on your next film yet, have you?"

Lin Pei was busy gnawing on a lamb leg.

That ferocity made Zhang Ze feel a twinge in his own teeth.

Youthful appetite is truly great, and so are the teeth.

Lin Pei finally managed to free his mouth. "Not yet."

Mainly because his filming schedule had been quite tight lately; he almost fell asleep the moment he got back every time.

He hadn't had time to check his private messages.

And because he was too dedicated, he hadn't even noticed that his phone bill was overdue.

He didn't know if he had missed any invitations.

Zhang Ze asked again, "Have you heard of Lin Texian?"

Lin Pei nodded.

He had.

Of course he had.

This director was very famous.

He had directed the famous 'Operation Mekong' and 'operation red sea', both of which were critically acclaimed and commercially successful movies.

However, on Blue Star, it seemed 'operation red sea' hadn't been released yet.

"Of course I've heard of Director Lin's great name."

Zhang Ze didn't beat around the bush.

"Lin Texian is preparing to film a movie called 'operation red sea' recently."

"I think this movie has a lot of potential. Are you interested?"

Lin Pei's eyes lit up.

So this movie hasn't been filmed yet?

Of course he was interested.

Setting aside the hot-blooded elements in the movie, just its popularity alone...

If he could film a role in it, his reputation in the industry would surely skyrocket.

"I'm definitely interested."

"Mm, I'll mention it to Old Lin later."

"He asked me to play the male lead, so I'll recommend you for the second male lead."

"Teacher Zhang Ze, thank you so much."

"What's there to be polite about between us? Come, drink."

...After three rounds of drinks.

The Film Crew no longer sat according to status.

At some point, a crowd gathered around Lin Pei.

"Brother Lin! That special skill you showed at the International Master Thief's house was just too awesome!"

"I've always suspected that was special effects."

"How can you do special effects on a live stream? Brother Lin really knows how to pick locks."

"Brother Lin, can you show us a demonstration on the spot?"

"Yeah, show us."

Several Young Actors started cheering.

They had been incredibly curious about Lin Pei's techniques for a long time.

It was just that they hadn't found an opportunity for him to show everyone.

Now that the filming had wrapped, they didn't want to miss this chance.

Lin Pei looked around.

"Performing a bit is no problem, but there are no suitable props here."

The Young Actors were somewhat disappointed.

Indeed, it was too difficult to replicate the environment of the master thief's house.

"What a pity."

"We won't be able to see Brother Lin's performance with our own eyes."

"Wait for next time. If there's a chance, we'll get a high-end lock for Brother Lin to try."

"Wait! I have one here."

Thanks to [gu du] for the reward.

Thanks to [linglongs cat] for the flowers.
