250: Chapter 250, "Flying Speed ​​2," filming wrapped.

Under the siege of alternating waves of real and fake fans, Lin Chuyan's reputation was now not just big, but getting better and better.

"I knew you were professional, but I didn't expect you to be *this* professional... Lin Chuyan, how many more talents do you have that your fans don't know about?"

After returning from the Golden Melody Awards, he had been filming step-by-step during this period. The noise from the outside world had temporarily subsided; regardless of anything else, the Acting had to be taken seriously.

Fortunately, he was the second male lead, so his tasks were much lighter compared to Dong Peng. Coupled with his good Driving Skill, filming was twice as effective with half the effort.

The original Bayanbulak highway in Anxi was more exciting to drive on than the renovated Shanghai International Off-Road Circuit, but it was also more difficult. Half the time, the crew had to deal with all kinds of weather.

Fortunately, the team was professional, so there were no accidents or mistakes. The bigger problem was the scene right before Lin Chuyan wrapped up. Director Chu Dong had originally planned everything out; the whole team got up very early just to film Zhang Chi driving his race car across the finish line with the rising sun in the background.

As it turned out, the weather in Anxi seemed to be playing a joke on them. Good grief, it suddenly started pouring rain, and it rained for two days straight, so the entire crew, including Lin Chuyan, had no choice but to wait around for two more days.

By the 18th, it was finally good weather again.

In this scene, the only one who needed to show Acting was Dong Peng.

Director Chu Dong's requirement was: while showing the mood of "winning the team championship," his reaction had to be very different from the others, or more accurately, completely different, and it had to have layers.

"We've already discussed how to shoot this scene and how to frame the shots. As for the specific Acting, Xiao Yan, for you and the others, I won't give much direction. In short, just express the excitement however you like. Don't hold back your expressions; I'd rather they be a bit exaggerated, and we can just shoot a few more takes."

After Director Chu Dong gave his instructions, he basically left this scene to them to improvise.

This scene was crucial for Director Chu Dong; it was the final climactic moment of the entire film. All the satisfying points converged at this moment, with everyone cheering, celebrating, and showing the most exaggerated smiles, welcoming their championship and their victory.

This scene was even more important for a slot like the Spring Festival Movie Season.

Thus, facing the rising sun, Dong Peng, Lin Chuyan, and the others—the car stopped, Lin Chuyan knocked on the window, Dong Peng and Qu Zhen got out, they cheered, hugged... the frame froze. They shot this sequence back and forth, and Lin Chuyan's face was almost stiff from smiling.

Finally. "Okay, cut! That's a wrap!"

Lin Chuyan rubbed his face and stepped down from the side of the car platform; Director Chu Dong had already ordered someone to push out a huge cake.

"Congratulations to Lin Chuyan on wrapping up. Come on, everyone, let's wish Xiao Yan a happy birthday in advance!"

The crew would record the birthdays of the main actors, so they naturally wouldn't miss this.

A bunch of people surrounded him and started singing the birthday song; the atmosphere was the kind that would make an introvert die of embarrassment.

Dong Peng shouted from the side, "Make a wish, Xiao Yan."

Make a wish... Lin Chuyan hadn't even closed his eyes yet. For some reason, when the word "wish" was mentioned, Ruan Xingyu automatically popped into his mind... Then, he would wish for himself and his girlfriend to grow old together!

After attending the Golden Melody Awards at the beginning of the month and officially wrapping up on the 18th, he had actually only been with the crew for a month and a half.

Lin Chuyan finished removing his makeup, changed his clothes, and began to say goodbye to everyone.

"Director, if you need to reshoot any scenes later, just call me anytime."

"Alright, what's your schedule like next?" Director Chu Dong asked casually.

"Accept some endorsements, film another movie, attend another awards ceremony, record my second big album, and promote my movie for the New Year's Eve slot..."

He didn't realize it until he said it, but his schedule was indeed quite full.

"So you're going for the New Year's Eve slot too..." Director Chu Dong realized belatedly.

"Yes, that one, 'a moment of romance'. Director Chu, will you be free then? I'd like to invite you to the premiere."

"Sure, I'll definitely be in Beijing then. Just send me a message on WeChat." Director Chu Dong was actually quite curious, as it also had car elements.

"Got it."

"Four romance movies in the New Year's Eve slot, it's going to be lively... You don't seem nervous at all?"

"I'm nervous, but being nervous is useless, it's already filmed anyway. And..." Lin Chuyan recalled, especially that scene where he rode a motorcycle with Zhou Shiyun speeding down the big road, "Although I haven't seen the final cut, the quality should be good, and there's Uncle Da."

Director Chu Dong nodded and didn't say anything more, but Lin Chuyan didn't intend to let him off the hook.

He glanced around slightly; there was no one else around. "Director, there's no one here. Tell me in private, what is the quality of those other romance movies actually like?"

"You kid..." Director Chu Dong naturally wouldn't just talk nonsense, but he still mentioned it somewhat cryptically, "Didn't I tell you before? I'm optimistic about one of them because it has a very famous traffic actor in it."

"Got it."

Lin Chuyan understood immediately. The reason he was optimistic was because of a traffic actor, so did the quality of that film even need to be discussed?

Besides, who isn't an idol? It's like saying who isn't a traffic star!

Lin Chuyan felt a bit more reassured.

Dong Peng also walked over, "Xiao Yan, let's grab a meal when I get back to Beijing!"

"Sure, but don't eat too late, brother."

"Lao Zhang's Ramen, they keep their doors closed during the day. I usually go eat at 12 midnight."

"...Alright, if I'm in Beijing, let's meet up."

After saying goodbye to the crew, he called Xia Zhi and Wu Yue, and the three of them went back to the hotel to pack their luggage.

They were chatting the whole way. It's worth mentioning that because his birthday was approaching, there were birthday support events from fans this year... and it looked like it was on a grand scale.

As Xia Zhi put it, he should "be mentally prepared."

"Will it have a bad impact?" Lin Chuyan was concerned about this first.

"There will definitely be negative impacts; it's just that some support activities are too luxurious and exaggerated, which might encourage some unhealthy consumption habits and wasteful behavior. I'm worried that this kind of support culture might have a bad influence on young fans." Xia Zhi explained to him, "However, fans have learned their lesson over the years. Many support activities are now various public welfare projects done in the idol's name. This way, they can show their support while also receiving positive feedback."

"Hmm." Lin Chuyan nodded. "In that case... it seems not bad?"

"I think so too." Xia Zhi couldn't help but ask, "So, brother, how are you celebrating your birthday this year? Do you need me to prepare anything for you in advance? Are you inviting anyone?"

"No need, no need. My girlfriend and I will spend it quietly, no need to arrange anything." Lin Chuyan emphasized again, "Please, don't pull any surprise attacks on me. Oh, and don't prepare any birthday gifts for me either; let's save where we can."

"Okay."

Wu Yue continued along this topic, "No birthday gift, but I have carefully selected a few endorsements; just take those as your birthday gift. You kid are going to get rich."

Lin Chuyan's eyes lit up, "What are they?"

"The clothes you wore to the Golden Melody Glory Night last time, what did you think of them?"

"They were pretty good, looked nice."

"Yeah, I think so too. It's an international brand, so that's it." Wu Yue started counting on his fingers, "Besides that, there's an app, a shopping platform, a client brand from a telecommunications company, and also Jingjie, which we've worked with before. They want to add a product line for you to endorse."

Wu Yue patted Lin Chuyan's shoulder, "Of course, these aren't the only ones that came looking, but we can wait on the others. We're not in a hurry; let's wait for your new album and new movie to gain some more momentum."

"Xiao Yan, your future is bright."
