98: The film crew is in closed training; who exactly is Stephen Chow's older brother?

"This... how could the authorities possibly want Teacher Lin Pei to serve as an 'Anti-Terrorism Ambassador'? It must be Photoshopped."

"Probably. I have to say, Teacher Lin Pei's Photoshop skills are pretty good."

"As expected of my Brother Lin, he even dares to Photoshop official images."

"An 'Anti-Terrorism' Ambassador? How could my Brother Lin, a Terrorist leader, possibly accept such a title? You're joking."

"Exactly, my Brother Lin isn't suited for such a title. My Brother Lin should be the one creating the terror."

"Setting aside whether he creates terror or not, Brother Lin's temperament doesn't match this honor at all."

"..."

Lin Pei scrolled down for a long time with a dark expression, but he couldn't find a single comment that believed he truly received this honor.

Instead, he found several comments in ancient Arabic.

"Great Leader, what do you mean by this? How can you oppose yourself?"

"Great Leader, are you really not coming back? I don't believe it; you must be joking."

"Everyone, don't panic. That's the Great Leader's stalling tactic, just to make the Dragon Country trust him temporarily while he plans the next organizational strategy."

"As the leader of our 'Number One Organization,' for you to actually obtain this kind of honor, you truly are wise and divine!"

"..."

Besides ancient Arabic, there were also many comments in traditional Chinese and English.

The IPs were from all over the world, both domestic and international.

"Brother Lin is awesome! With this umbrella of protection, it'll be much more convenient to do our business."

"Yeah, Brother Lin, are you interested in collaborating with me to let our Qingyun Gang make a comeback?"

"Brother Lin, look at our Qingcheng Gang, how about becoming our boss?"

"Brother Lin, our International Theft Ring is still waiting for your arrival."

"..."

A crowd of netizens below was busy reporting the comments.

Lin Pei laughed out of anger.

It turned out that what he saw was already just what was left after the reports.

Damn it.

Posting this photo didn't have any positive effect at all; except for these criminals, almost no one believed him.

This is simply outrageous!

Lin Pei slammed his phone down.

"I'm quitting."

"I'm definitely deleting my account!"

...A few days later, Stephen Chow sent him the finalized script for shaolin soccer.

The content of the movie was the same as in his previous life:

A Pei, who came from the Shaolin Temple, was scouted by Ming Feng, a former soccer star, because of his extraordinary leg power.

Ming Feng tapped into his extraordinary soccer talent and encouraged A Pei to play soccer.

Later, A Pei teamed up with his fellow brothers from the Shaolin Temple to integrate Shaolin Kung Fu into soccer.

In the end, this group of underdogs—the 'useless' Monks and the overlooked soccer players—united and worked hard together, finally winning the national soccer tournament.

And this time, Lin Pei was going to play the protagonist, A Pei.

Stephen Chow's voice on the phone sounded a bit excited.

"How is it, Big Brother? Is there any problem with the script?"

Lin Pei quickly flipped through the script.

"No problem."

"As expected of my second brother."

Stephen Chow laughed with a burst of pride upon hearing this.

"Ah hahahahaha, this is all thanks to Big Brother's guidance."

"Right, Big Brother, in a few days after the actors familiarize themselves with the script, we're going to have a closed training session before filming."

"I've invited a master from the Shaolin Temple and a foreign soccer coach to provide us with guidance."

"I know you have great leg power, Big Brother, but to play soccer, you still need to learn systematically."

"Big Brother, I'll call you then. Be there on time!"

Lin Pei smiled.

"Don't worry, second brother."

"No problem."

...A few more days later, at Pitch 1 of the Beijing Olympic Soccer Stadium.

The highly anticipated Peony World Cup Asian Qualifiers were in full swing here.

And at Pitch 2 next door, the shaolin soccer Film Crew began their closed training.

Although filming hadn't started yet, when the movie was registered, the higher-ups learned of the content and highly praised the theme.

The Beijing Soccer Stadium even sponsored this venue for free for their pre-filming training.

As the director, Stephen Chow's requirements for filmmaking had always been high, paying extreme attention to detail.

To ensure everyone displayed the best performance, he also spent a huge sum to hire Messi's soccer coach, Bliss, from the Bullfighting Country, and the high Monk from the Shaolin Temple, Monk, to act as Action Directors for the actors.

There was still half an hour before the agreed nine o'clock, but the actors had already arrived early.

Simply because they heard Stephen Chow mention that the person playing the male lead this time was his Big Brother.

Out of politeness, he had to arrive early to wait for his Big Brother's arrival.

When everyone heard that even the director was coming early, didn't that mean they had to be even earlier than the director?

At this moment, everyone gathered together, whispering among themselves.

"Who is this Big Brother of the director? How come I've never heard of him?"

"With Star Lord's unyielding nature and his status in the entertainment industry, anyone who can make him rush to call them 'Big Brother' is probably a major figure."

"Exactly, it's always others calling him 'Lord.' When have you ever heard him call someone else 'Big Brother'? This is truly rare!"

"Star Lord doesn't seem to have revealed the name. Could it be a big shot from outside the industry?"

"To be the director's Big Brother, he's probably not young. The male lead in our movie is a young character; won't it look out of place?"

"Oh, it's Star Lord's movie; Star Lord has the final say."

"Hey, where's Star Lord?"

"He seems to be in the lounge chatting with the foreign Action Director he invited."

"..."

...When Lin Pei entered the field and saw so many people already at the soccer stadium, he was a bit surprised.

This Film Crew seemed different from the ones he had stayed with before; everyone was much more professional.

Having watched this movie several times, he saw familiar faces everywhere.

Ng Man-tat, who was playing Ming Feng and was still alive at this time;

Lin Zicong, who was playing the Third Senior Brother;

Cecilia Cheung, who was playing a player on a certain team;

Karen Mok, who was playing a player on a certain team;

Wong Yat-fei, who was playing the First Senior Brother;

Danny Chan Kwok-kwan, who was playing the Fourth Senior Brother;

...Seeing him enter, everyone's eyes shot toward him in unison, making Lin Pei feel a bit uneasy.

What's going on?

Did he leave his breakfast on his face?

Lin Pei wiped his face with his hand.

There was nothing there.

However, after everyone took a look, they all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew, this guy definitely isn't Star Lord's Big Brother!"

"Right, right. Although his aura is quite strong, he looks way too young."

"He looks pretty good, but I've never seen him before. I wonder which part he's playing?"

As Lin Pei walked closer, someone kindly advised him.

"I say, Young Man, how can you only arrive at this time?"

"As a newcomer, you still need to understand some social etiquette."

"You're not the director's Big Brother, so shouldn't you have arrived a bit earlier?"

The crowd nodded one after another.

"Exactly, Young Man, have some sense."

"Do you want to act in Star Lord's movies again next time?"

Lin Pei looked up at the time displayed on the LCD screen above the venue; there were still five minutes left before the time Stephen Chow had notified him.

"Isn't this still a few minutes early?"

"I'm not late."
