CH 40

The crew of Feng Mars Chen would stay at the base of Yaoguang Starfield for a week. In addition to filming the scenes of this military exercise, there were also many scenes on the aircraft carrier that needed to be filmed on the spot. The military department specially provided an aircraft carrier from a hundred years ago, it was said that this “Glory” aircraft carrier had participated in many large-scale battles. The Legion of Glory was named after it. Even the current Imperial Marshal was considered its junior.

Major General Benjamin was in charge of the reception. He first sent people to settle all the crew’s residences and let everyone put down their luggage. Then he took everyone to visit this large aircraft carrier and introduced in detail the aircraft carrier’s service in the military and its glorious history during its period of service.

Major General Benjamin was not as serious as most soldiers, but was personable, with a calm smile on his face all the time, and his voice was sonorous and powerful when he gave explanations. He never used a microphone, but his clear voice could always be clearly transmitted to everyone’s ears.

After listening to the explanation, Xi Wei asked: “This warship, can we visit and take photos at will? Is there any restriction?”

Benjamin smiled and said: “The superior order said that as long as the warship is not damaged, you can do it. We will let the director make up his own mind about how to shoot.”

Xi Wei nodded happily: “Thank you, we will be careful and never damage it.”

Benjamin continued: “Also, all the equipment and weapons you need have been delivered, they are placed in the storage room now.”

Since this drama was about a war from a hundred years ago, it needed to use weapons and equipment from a hundred years ago, so they couldn’t use today’s advanced mechs and various electromagnetic guns and light energy cannons. In that case the movie would be very loose. So Xi Wei applied in advance and asked the military to help find ancient equipment from a hundred years ago.

Xi Wei followed him to take a look, and said, “We actors don’t know much about these weapons, and we need to ask the general to send someone to teach them how to use them.”

Benjamin smiled and said, “Of course it’s no problem.”

After receiving the director’s notice, Qin Yize and several important supporting actors immediately came to the simulation training room, and screenwriters Xue An’an and Luo Ning also followed.

In order to avoid any accidents during the shooting, Major General Benjamin thought very carefully. He asked people to replace all the bullets in all the guns which could cause injury or death.

Benjamin explained to everyone the structure and usage of various weapons in detail, and then said: “Everyone, study it yourself, and ask me if you don’t understand.”

Qin Yize took a step forward, picked up a sniper gun seriously, after all, he was the leading actor. As an actor, he had to look expert in whatever he played. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he was really unfamiliar with these weapons. He must hurry up and get familiar with them as soon as possible.

He studied carefully for a while, and was about to pick up the gun and aim at the bull’s-eye, when he heard a deep voice suddenly sound in his ear, asking at a volume that only each other could hear: “You are the lead actor of this show, Qin Yize, right??”

Qin Yize turned his head, and suddenly met a pair of deep blue eyes.

Those eyes were like the mysterious deep sea, with a faint smile in them—it was Major General Benjamin.

Although Qin Yize was very popular, he was not so arrogant that he thought that the general had also seen his movie. Since the other party knew him, it was more likely because of Luo Ning. Thinking of this, Qin Yize felt a little uncomfortable. He met the man’s gaze calmly, and asked lightly, “The general knows me?”

Benjamin smiled and said, “Of course. I’ll go to the training room next door to tutor you alone. How about it?” Qin Yize frowned slightly, knowing that the other party had something to say to him, so he followed him to the training room next door.

As soon as the door was closed, Qin Yize looked at him bluntly: “Just speak up if you have something to say. Is it because of Luo Ning that you are looking for me?”

“Well. If it wasn’t for your appearance, I might be the one who would have married Luo Ning.” Benjamin looked into Qin Yize’s eyes and said word by word, “Your Majesty and my father both wanted to match me with Luo Ning. It’s a pity that I was out on a mission at the time, and I didn’t come back until after the New Year, and by the time I came back, you and Luo Ning had already received your marriage certificate, it was so fast that it was beyond my expectation.”

Qin Yize’s voice was cold: “What’s the point of saying this now? Luo Ning and I are already a legal couple, do you still want to intervene in our marriage?”

Benjamin smiled lightly and touched his nose, saying: “I won’t be so mean as to destroy other people’s marriages. But if Luo Ning doesn’t like you and one day officially divorces you, then can I pursue him openly?”

Qin Yize didn’t hesitate, and said coldly: “You still give up, there won’t be such a day.”

Divorce Luo Ning, and then give Luo Ning to the Alpha in front of him? Don’t even think about it!

….

The moment Qin Yize came out of the training room, he bumped into someone, and it was his very anxious manager Li Xin.

Li Xin was hit on the forehead, and gasped in pain while complaining: “Yize, where did you go? You couldn’t be found everywhere! I’m so anxious! Didn’t I tell you not to run around?”

Behind him, Major General Benjamin looked at the nagging man, smiled slightly, and explained: “I called Qin Yize over to practice the operation of weapons alone. After all, he is the protagonist, and every movement must be standardized.”

Li Xin was stunned, raised his head, met the smiling eyes of the man in military uniform, and immediately changed his words wittily: “So it’s like this, it’s really troublesome general, our Yize will definitely work hard to learn, thank you, General, for your care. Can I borrow him for five minutes first? I need to discuss something urgent with him.”

Benjamin: “…”

This guy could really change his face faster than turning the pages of a book.

Benjamin twitched the corner of his mouth lightly and said, “Please do what you want.”

Li Xin immediately pulled Qin Yize to the side, whispered into Qin Yize’s ear and said, “Do you still remember the TV series “Infinite Space” that we talked to the director and investors last time about? Something happened.”

Qin Yize was puzzled: “What? Didn’t we already negotiate the schedule and sign a contract?”

Li Xin’s face was extremely ugly, and he couldn’t help cursing: “We were cut off by a third-tier actor. Unexpectedly! We have even prepared the contract here, and we are about to seal it and send it to them, but I just received a phone call from Sister Lin, saying that the producer side went back on their word and signed another male lead, as they disliked us saying that our remuneration is too high!”

Qin Yize: “…”

Since his debut, this was the first time that someone had cut off his fixed role, so Qin Yize was also quite puzzled. This kind of thing could also happen, it seemed that the origin of the person who stole his role was not simple.

Sure enough, Li Xin lowered his voice and said: “I found out some inside information from my acquaintances. It is said that the third-tier star’s family is very rich. He brought money into the crew and directly invested 20 million yuan to the crew to buy this role. It’s really disgusting! It’s not that we don’t have money, but the producer suddenly repented, what is this?”

Li Xin blushed with anger, and his whole body turned on “combat mode”, wishing he could rush over and tear the starlet up with his hands.

Qin Yize acted very calmly, saying: “It’s just a role, it doesn’t matter if you don’t play it.”

Li Xin’s face was almost wrinkled into a bun, and he said angrily: “But the problem is, this drama was supposed to be your highlight in the second half of the year. Well, more than 50 episodes of TV series will take half a year to film. For this drama, I have already spared you half a year’s schedule and turned down two big-budget movies, but now they put pigeons like this, and I have to start finding another script for you, I’m so mad!”

Qin Yize patted his agent on the shoulder lightly, and comforted him: “It’s okay, take your time.”

Qin Yi, who was robbed of his role, didn’t look angry, but his manager was about to break his heart. Li Xin rolled his eyes, sighed and said, “Forget it, anyway, that supernatural drama doesn’t have to be acted. If you like this kind of theme, I’ll find another one for you.”

Qin Yize comforted: “You’ve worked hard. Yes. The subject matter doesn’t really matter, as long as it’s a good script, I can take it.”

Li Xin nodded, turned and walked away.

Benjamin, who had been on the sidelines, finally couldn’t help laughing out loud, and asked Qin Yize, “Is this your manager?”

Qin Yize turned around and said, “What?”

Benjamin shrugged and smiled. He commented: “The expression on his face is really rich and wonderful.”

Qin Yize: “…”

This comment was very pertinent. Li Xin was always impatient and babbled endlessly, while after being nagged by him for so many years, Qin Yize had already developed immunity. However, in the eyes of strangers, this man really talked a lot, especially when he was angry, he was so angry that he was almost murderous, and then he looked sad and wronged, his expression was really rich.
