Chapter 24
Yes, yes, you have a lot of face.
Li Guoli, who was preparing to film the next scene, suddenly noticed that there was someone next to him, and the people around him were looking at the person next to him and whispering about something. However, when he turned his head to look at Lin Yu, he could only see half of his profile.
"Who are you?"
"Director Li, hello there!" Lin Yu turned around and greeted Li Guoli.
"Hey! Director Lin! What brings you here?" Li Guoli asked in surprise.
"Hehe, I came to see Hu Ge. I promised him that if he could play Li Xiaoyao, I would come to visit him on set."
"Oh, I see! Haha... This kid really hit the jackpot. But Director Lin, you didn't even tell me you were coming. I... I wasn't prepared!" Li Guoli said with a regretful expression.
"What are we preparing? Reporters?" Lin Yu thought to himself.
Just as Li Guoli was about to blame him for not informing him, Lin Yu sighed slightly and said, "Director Li, it's my fault for not letting them notify you. Don't blame them. I just came to check. It's nothing serious. You can continue filming."
"No way! Director Lin, you've come all this way, how can we not treat you properly? I..."
Seeing that Li Guoli was about to get up and end the filming, Lin Yu quickly stopped him.
"No, no, no! You keep filming, I'm not leaving for now. If you want to entertain me, you'll have to wait until you finish filming. Otherwise, what will these actors think of me?"
"Really? Then it's a deal. You're not allowed to leave today; you have to have a drink with me."
"Okay, okay, I won't leave, just hurry up and take the pictures. Can't you see they're all watching you?"
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he went to find a small stool, and when he found a good spot to watch the show, he plopped down and sat down with an expression that said, "I'm waiting to see your performance."
"What are you looking at? I'm clearly looking at you, I'm not blind!" Li Guoli muttered after watching Lin Yu leave.
Hu Ge and Liu Yifei on the field were already a little confused. What the heck? Didn't the director just say "get ready"? Why hasn't he called "start" yet? So, with curiosity in their hearts, they secretly glanced at Li Guoli.
"Holy crap! Director Lin really came?" Hu Ge looked at Lin Yu, who was still waving at him, rubbed his eyes, and muttered to himself:
Liu Yifei tilted her head and curiously took a closer look at this "master" who had attracted the attention of the entire crew.
"Who is this person?"
However, when Li Guoli called "Ready to Start" again, they adjusted their mindset and "wholeheartedly" threw themselves back into filming, only this time they were called "Cut" many more times.
Lin Yu's situation was quite interesting. The actors in the crew wanted to greet him when he arrived, but they were a little unsure of how to handle this currently "at the height of his fame" director. They wanted to go over but didn't dare, fearing that Lin Yu would think they were unprofessional and leave a bad impression on him. So they could only continue to "concentrate" on studying their script.
Lin Yu, however, remarked, "Actors these days are quite dedicated! Li Guoli clearly didn't have any scenes with these people in today's shoot, but they still showed up. Unlike actors from ten years ago, who would be nowhere to be found even when the director was about to yell 'Action'."
Because of Lin Yu's arrival today, the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew spent the same amount of time filming as usual, but only produced less than half the usual amount of finished product. However, Li Guoli didn't care. Just the news of Lin Yu visiting the set today was enough for him to make a fortune. Why would he care about such a small amount of money?
"Director Lin! You're really here!" Hu Ge, who had just finished filming, ran to Lin Yu's side before even changing his clothes.
"Of course I'm really coming. Why would I fake it? I'm a man of my word, you know!" Lin Yu rolled his eyes.
"Hehe...that's great. Director Li just said he's treating tonight, and he asked me to tell you that he absolutely has to invite you."
"Okay, no problem. I've been busy for so long and I'm looking forward to taking a break. I was planning to spend a couple of days exploring the area," Lin Yu said after thinking for a moment.
"Not bad! This outfit really does resemble Li Xiaoyao."
"I really have to thank you. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have had the courage to tell Sister Cai." Hu Ge scratched his head sheepishly and smiled.
"What's yours will be yours, it has nothing to do with me. By the way, aren't you going to introduce him to me?" Lin Yu pointed behind Hu Ge and said:
Hu Ge turned around and saw that a large group of people were already standing behind him, which made him tremble with fear.
"Wow! You guys walk so quietly? You scared me!" Hu Ge said jokingly.
"Hey hey hey! Let me introduce you, this is Lin Yu, the director who's been making headlines all this time." Hu Ge pointed to Lin Yu and introduced him to everyone:
"Hello!" Lin Yu nodded to everyone.
"Hello, Director Lin!"
"Director Lin..."
Then, Hu Ge turned to Lin Yu and introduced each of the people standing behind him to him.
"Director Lin, let me introduce you. This is An Yixuan, who plays Lin Yueru in the drama."
"This is Peng Yuyan, who plays Tang Yu Xiaobao."
"This is Xie Junhao, who plays the role of the Drunken Sword Immortal in the drama."
"Who is this...?"
After greeting everyone again, Lin Yu followed Hu Ge, who had changed his clothes and removed his makeup, to the hotel rented by the film crew, where they waited for the white rice to be delivered.
"Hey! Lao Hu, I don't think I saw Zhao Ling'er just now?" Lin Yu asked, sitting on the hotel sofa.
"Oh? You mean Liu Yifei? She went to see her mom as soon as she finished filming. This girl is quite lively when she's filming, but her mom always watches her when she's off-set. But she'll be going tonight too, and I'll introduce you to her then. Speaking of which, you two are classmates, right? She's also from Beijing Film Academy, class of 02 in the acting department." Hu Ge answered Lin Yu while picking out clothes.
"Hey! Director Lin, what do you think of this?" Hu Ge asked, holding up a black down jacket.
"It's alright, but I suggest you choose a brighter color. This one makes you look a bit older. The blue one would be nice. Also, stop calling me Director Lin. Just call me by my name. We're not that much older than each other." Lin Yu pointed to a blue casual outfit on his bed.
"Okay, but are you sure this looks good on me?" Hu Ge asked, somewhat doubtfully.
"Don't worry, trust my judgment."
"Hehe... okay, I'll wear this then. But Director Lin, I... um, Lin Yu, I really didn't expect you to actually come. Looks like I have quite a bit of influence!"
"Yes, yes, yes! You have a lot of influence." Lin Yu echoed helplessly:
"By the way, Lin Yu, I heard you're almost done casting for your new movie? Can you give me some insider information? Who's on the shortlist? Take a look..."
