89: He was warmly released from prison and filming continued.
An hour later, Lin Pei was respectfully escorted out by Zheng Lei, Martin, and a group of Ivia prison staff.
Martin smoothed his balding head, and in his excitement, he almost rubbed off the last few strands of hair remaining in that wasteland.
"Amazing! Simply incredible!"
"God. I'm going to Dragon Country to learn Dragon Country Kung Fu!"
"Mr. Lin, you are my god!"
The various prison staff members were also slapping their foreheads.
"Kung Fu, learn Dragon Country Kung Fu!"
Zheng Lei's eyes were full of pride.
"Good, good. Everyone is welcome to come to my Dragon Country to learn Kung Fu."
He turned to Lin Pei.
"Lin Pei, you're staying here to film, right?"
"We're all friends now. When you're free, you can come find me at our embassy's armed forces department."
Lin Pei nodded.
"Alright, Captain Zheng."
Martin finally took his hand off the top of his head.
"Mr. Lin, you are also welcome to visit the Ivia government as a guest."
Lin Pei nodded again.
"Sure, Mr. Martin."
Seeing this scene, the prison staff were also not to be outdone.
"Mr. Lin, you're also welcome to visit our Ivia prison often."
Lin Pei felt a chill upon hearing this.
He didn't want to come here often.
Going elsewhere is being a guest.
Coming here is being a prisoner.
He gave a polite smile and waved his hand.
"No, no."
"Aren't you guys going to Dragon Country to learn Kung Fu?"
"Let's just meet in Dragon Country instead."
...At the prison gate.
Lin Pei hadn't expected the entire Film Crew to be waiting here the whole time.
Huang Jingyu lunged out of the bus and pulled him up.
"Brother Lin, you're finally out."
"Were you released without charges, or did you kill them all and escape?"
Everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Hai Qing directly poked his forehead with her finger.
"Let Lin Pei kill you first."
She turned to Lin Pei, her face changing instantly to a smile brighter than a flower.
"Oh my god, you're still so handsome like this."
"With those muscles, I feel like you have more brain cells than Huang Jingyu."
Lin Texian slapped his forehead, looking particularly happy.
"It's good that you're okay. Let's head back to the hotel."
Lin Pei had already been pulled into a seat by Zhang Ze.
He was currently whispering in his ear.
"Lin Pei, didn't that disc of yours break?"
"I still have some here. I'll give you two more in a bit."
"They're all good films..."
Everyone was also overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to Lin Pei one after another.
Lin Pei waved his hand.
"You're all too kind, it was just a small effort."
He mainly did it so the movie could be filmed and released smoothly.
That first ten million salary had to be received on time... Not long after Lin Pei returned to the hotel, the Ivia government released a letter of thanks on official media.
It thanked Mr. Lin Pei of Dragon Country for outsmarting the Terrorists, leading to their capture and eliminating a large part of the security risks in this area of Ivia.
The Dragon Country Embassy in Ivia also sent a letter, praising Lin Pei for his brave and selfless actions.
Once the letters from both sides were issued, the entire internet was in an uproar again.
The topic #Lin Pei Anti-Terrorist Hero# surpassed all other hot searches to take the number one spot.
The netizens were also fired up.
"As expected, there's another reversal. It's really strange; every time Brother Lin performs a meritorious deed, he gets arrested instead."
"Brother Lin really isn't Mysterious Leaders name? To be honest, I had my doubts."
"Eagle Country has declared again that Mysterious Leaders name was shot and killed several years ago."
"Give Lin Pei a thumbs up, he's too brave and handsome! Our police owe him a medal."
"According to our country's past practices, it will probably be made up for after he returns home."
"..."
An official account popped up again.
Dragon Country Officials: "Excellent Young Man, truly a pillar of our nation!"
...Meanwhile, at a certain domestic Film Crew.
Stephen Chow's assistant, A-Qiang, handed the phone to Stephen Chow.
"Look, Star Lord, this person is fine."
"Your male lead is saved."
Stephen Chow instantly let out a bright laugh.
"Ah hahahahaha, that's great."
"As they say, people who love to laugh won't have bad luck."
"Look at me, I simply couldn't be luckier!"
...After going through this ordeal, the people in the Film Crew had truly witnessed Lin Pei's bravery.
And his extraordinary combat and muscle values.
With Lin Pei around, everyone didn't seem so afraid of Terrorists anymore.
Under Lin Texian's persuasion, everyone agreed to stay and film for another month.
Crucially, it was also because the local "Number One Organization" had been mostly rounded up this time.
Furthermore, upon learning of the positive promotional significance of this film, the embassy even sent a squad of Armed Police to protect the perimeter of the Film Crew.
Everyone's sense of security could be said to have risen sharply.
Currently, at the filming site of "operation red sea."
Under the lens, the eight Navy Soldiers of the "Jiaolong Assault Team" were engaging in a firefight with local Ivia Terrorist forces.
Lin Pei, playing Xu Hong, was seen pulling the bolt back with a reverse grip.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The opposing squad of "Terrorists" all fell to the ground at the sound.
"Cut."
Director Lin scratched his head.
"Lin Pei, first of all, your eyes and movements are very well-executed."
"Full of righteousness and a great sense for the camera."
"However, you need to hold back a bit when you're shooting."
"The film reflects the process of our team members going through all sorts of hardships to defeat the Terrorists and successfully rescue the hostages."
"If you take everyone out with just a few shots, it's hard to reflect that spiritual significance."
The other actors and staff members of the Film Crew hadn't yet recovered.
Looking at Lin Pei's performance just now.
Good grief, he's practically a sharpshooter.
The main point was that he was even better than a sharpshooter; he didn't even seem to need to aim specifically.
So his bullets were always faster than the enemy's.
The enemies also died unexpectedly fast.
It felt like the battle ended before it even began!
If things developed according to this situation, their assault team rescuing hostages would be a matter of minutes.
There wouldn't be any sacrifices.
The planned movie length of over two hours would probably only have half an hour left.
Everyone had known Lin Pei's marksmanship was good since the day he shot the coconuts.
But seeing him shooting while wearing the uniform of our country's Navy Soldier now gave off a completely different feeling.
This was just too handsome!
Huang Jingyu sidled over holding his gun.
"Director, with Brother Lin's marksmanship, he should be playing the role of the sniper."
Director Lin agreed.
"Then why don't you two swap roles?"
Huang Jingyu thought for a moment and was instantly conflicted, giving a tactical silly smile.
"Cough..."
"Brother Lin's role has more eye acting, I can't handle it."
"Brother Lin is good at both dramatic and action scenes, I'm just not up to it."
Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder.
"Originally, we felt Brother Lin's vibe was suitable for playing a Terrorist, but we didn't expect that once he put on this military uniform, his temperament would be so upright."
"Exactly, he looks like a perfectly patriotic soldier through and even through."
"It's really amazing. Look, even Huang Jingyu, who is known as a 'soldier within the system,' looks a bit like an amateur standing next to him."
"This is what a good actor is like; they become whatever they play, and whatever they play is the character itself."
"I'll say this quietly, but his eye acting feels even better than Brother Ze's. Brother Lin isn't far from winning best actor."
"..."
On the other side, Lin Pei listened to the director's suggestion and nodded.
"Understood, Director Lin, I'll slow down then."
...Thanks to [Si Yufei of the Xuanjian Sect] for the reward.
