After the production team of Feng Mars Chen finished filming the scene on Ryan Planet, it was officially wrapped up on April 10.
On the day of wrapping up, Xi Wei specially reserved a lobby at the best local hotel to reward everyone who worked hard during this time. Several important supporting actors who played against Qin Yize also left their contact information with each other, politely saying “keep in touch in the future”.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was happy and harmonious, and everyone had a great time at the final dinner.
Generally speaking, the filming of this drama went smoothly, and the next step was post-production.
Xi Wei said that the post-production of the film would take at least one or two months, and after the production was completed, it would be handed over to the higher authorities for review, and then the official release of the film would naturally take place in the second half of the year. If the progress went well, he wanted to release it in time for the summer holidays in July and August. The traffic in the summer holidays would be relatively high, which would help the box office.
Everyone was looking forward to it.
Next, they would wait for the post-production period, the actors would be busy in their own way, and then they would come to promote it together before the release.
Xi Wei patted Qin Yize on the shoulder, and said, “I’ll let you know when the release date is set. What are your plans next?”
Li Xin really didn’t want to say, he was going to be a guest star in the 18th-line small transparent crew next time as a villain.
It was embarrassing to say.
Qin Yize, on the other hand, replied calmly: “Stay with Luo Ning more.”
Xi Wei praised: “Yes, work is important, but family is also important.”
At the end of the finale banquet, the whole crew took a group photo in the hall, and the expressions on the faces of the staff and actors were very excited. This family photo quickly became the top three most searched photos of the day. After seeing it, Luo Ning forwarded it and liked it, and simply added a comment saying: “Congratulations on the finale.”
After the opening ceremony of “Digital Code”, his current fans had risen to 180,000. As soon as he reposted it, fans began to post messages on Weibo: “Luoluo, do you know the male god Yize? He praised you before…What about you!” “Feng Mars Chen has finished filming, when will you finish filming this Digital Code?” “Xiao Luo, come on, waiting for your new drama to finish!” “Are you on good terms with the crew of Feng Mars Chen?”
Luo Ning didn’t reply at all. If public figures made too many mistakes, they may be caught by others, so he just forwarded it politely.
On the contrary, Luo Ning was very concerned about Qin Yize’s next announcement, so he sent a video call back that night.
Qin Yize had already returned to the capital star’s villa but his face was a bit smelly.
Luo Ning said with a smile: “Shouldn’t you be happy since the movie is finished? You look so ugly, what’s wrong?”
Qin Yize’s voice was a little aggrieved: “Li Xin moved away without telling me.”
Luo Ning remembered that during the previous shift Major General Benjamin told him about it, but Li Xin never told Qin Yize.
Qin Yize realized something was wrong when he returned to his house by spaceship with the crew this afternoon. Li Xin’s bedroom on the second floor was empty, and Li Xin turned around and left after sending him home?
Qin Yize frowned and looked at the agent: “Why are your things missing?”
Li Xin said with a smile: “I moved out a few days ago, as it’s not convenient to live with you young couple all the time.”
This reason sounded normal at first, and Qin Yize really wanted to live in a two-person world with Luo Ning. If Li Xin was here, he really couldn’t let go while doing intimate things with Luo Ning. However, after being friends for many years, he was still very concerned about Li Xin’s situation, so he asked, “Where are you moving? How is the new living environment?”
Li Xin said, “It’s very good, it’s in a nearby community. By the way, General Benjamin helped me find it.”
It’s okay if he didn’t say this, but as soon as he said it, Qin Yize immediately raised his eyebrows vigilantly: “Benjamin? Why is he helping you find a house?”
Li Xin said: “It’s his cousin’s house. It’s vacant anyway. I’ll live there for a while and pay him rent.”
Qin Yize frowned, always feeling that something was wrong. Why did that Benjamin suddenly treat Li Xin so well? Ah? If he didn’t have anything to do, he must have the intention to either rape or steal! But he also couldn’t figure out which. After Li Xin settled down, he turned around and went to his new home, while Qin Yize thought about it with a sulky face.
It so happened that Luo Ning sent a video call at this time, and before he had time to adjust his expression, Luo Ning saw it.
Luo Ning smiled and comforted: “Brother Li is so careful, the place he found will definitely not be too bad. Since he thinks it is inconvenient to live with us, it doesn’t matter if he moves away. If you are worried, go to his place some other day to see, isn’t that okay?”
Qin Yize’s mood improved a bit: “Well, he can move if he wants to, it’s convenient because he lives nearby.” Facing Luo Ning’s smiling face, Qin Yize’s eyes couldn’t help but turn gentle: “How are you doing recently? Is the new movie going well?”
Luo Ning said: “The progress is not going well. A few young new actors have too little acting experience, and many actions and emotions are not in place. Director Yu has thus gotten stuck in re-shooting. We have been filming for a week, and less than one-tenth of the filming is finished.”
Qin Yize comforted: “Don’t worry too much, they just need to get used to each other at first, and when they get to know each other better, the progress will be faster.”
“Director Yu said the same thing, I’m not in a hurry.” Luo Ning smiled slightly, and then changed the topic back, “By the way, your drama has finished, what’s next? What is your plan? I heard what Li Ge meant before, and he wanted to get another TV series for you?”
Qin Yize said: “I pushed it.”
Luo Ning was puzzled: “Why? Don’t you like the subject matter?”
—Of course it is to spend more time with you.
But Qin Yize was embarrassed to say this, so he could only make excuses: “I don’t like the plot very much, let’s talk about it after a while.”
Luo Ning nodded in agreement: “Yes, you worked too hard to film this drama. Look at you, all tanned.”
Qin Yize touched his chin, thinking, did Luo Ning think that he was not as handsome as before after he turned black? He stayed in the desert for a week, and filmed under the scorching sun every day, so he really had gotten two shades darker.
Luo Ning seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said with a smile: “My family, Yize, looks even more handsome after getting tanned.”
Qin Yize, who was coaxed, immediately became happy.
The two chatted about some work again, then someone from Luo Ning’s side asked him to go to the set, and the conversation ended.
Qin Yize didn’t tell Luo Ning that he was going to be a guest star in his movie. He was afraid that if Luo Ning objected, he would have no chance to go, so he wanted to “kill first and play later”, therefore he contacted the crew directly, and decided to give Luo Ning a “surprise” later.
Li Xin contacted the crew of “Digital Code” that night and said, “Hi, I’m Li Xin, Qin Yize’s agent.”
During the phone call, they thought the other party was a liar, but in the end, Li Xin followed up with a long sentence in a very serious tone: “Our Yize is a loyal reader of the book “Digital Code”. He just happened to be idle, and when he heard that you were shooting it, he really wanted to go to your crew to see if he could play a cameo role.”
The girl on the other side was stunned, it was like a piece of pie falling from the sky, almost knocking her out.
Li Xin waited for a while without responding, and then said: “Are you there?”
The girl recovered her senses, and immediately replied: “Ah, you are here! Are you really Manager Li? Qin Yize…is just filming…. Has Qin Yize finished Feng Mars Chen? He wants to come to our crew as a guest star?”
Li Xin said patiently: “Yes, so I want to ask, do you have any remaining roles? Passerby is also fine.”
The girl was flattered and became happy but then she frowned and said: “But Qin Yize’s salary, we…we really can’t afford it…I’m really sorry, our investment in this drama, that…funding is a bit tight…”
Li Xin rolled his eyes, he said, “Yize means that he doesn’t want a salary.”
The girl almost slipped and fell down: “No remuneration???”
Li Xin nodded: “Well, he just wants to make a guest appearance to express his… love for this book. He doesn’t need a penny for the remuneration. A small supporting role with a small role is enough, such as a villain who doesn’t show much.”
The more he talked, the more his teeth hurt, and Li Xin felt that he was about to become the most embarrassing manager in the entertainment industry.
The artist he brought out was obviously a superstar worth tens of millions, and he had to be cheeky and not want money to star in a small movie with an investment of 5 million. If others got to know it, they would definitely think that his manager was out of his mind-in fact, there was indeed something wrong with Yize, but it was none of his business.
The girl was so frightened that her voice trembled a little: “Well, is what you said true? Yize is really willing to come and play this kind of small role?”
Li Xin quickly scolded Qin Yize in his heart. On the surface, he pretended to be serious and said: “Yes, Yize likes this book very much. He is very pleased to see that his favorite book can be adapted into a movie. No salary.”
The girl believed it, and almost jumped up excitedly: “I have to report this matter to my superiors, I can’t make decisions by myself! Brother Li, wait a moment, I will call you back later!”
She ran to find the director Yu Cheng, as well as the producer, and said excitedly that Qin Yize wanted to come to the crew as a guest star.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
The sister producer was full of question marks: “Qin Yize? Why is this great god running into our small crew?”
The girl replied: “He said he is a fan of this book.”
The producer smiled from ear to ear: “If he really comes, that’s great! With such a high-traffic star coming to the crew as a guest star, that kind of publicity can save millions in publicity fees!”
Yu Cheng rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
He suddenly remembered that when he and screenwriter Xiao Luo first met in Lanyue Bay that day, he also met Qin Yize. At that time, Qin Yize gently put his arms around Xiao Luo’s shoulders and said something like “old friend, long time no see” type of words. He thought that Qin Yize and Xiao Luo were just ordinary friends, so he should be polite when they met each other.
It didn’t look like it now!
Qin Yize suddenly came to this crew, probably because of this “friend”?
Thinking of this, Yu Cheng said: “Then let him come. As for the guest role, let him discuss with the screenwriter.”
The next morning, Luo Ning got up and went to the set. Seeing a group of people crowding around like crazy, screaming excitedly, while some girls secretly took out their cameras and filmed something, as if some important person came to inspect the crew.
Luo Ning thought it was an investor, so he didn’t care.
As a result, when passing by the crowd, he took a curious look, and suddenly met an extremely familiar face.
The man’s appearance was as handsome as a knife, and his skin tone had turned a little darker during the outdoor shooting, which made his facial features look tougher. He wore big sunglasses on his face, and his lips were slightly pursed, but Luo Ning still recognized it at a glance—isn’t this my Alpha? What is he doing here!
Luo Ning looked at Qin Yize with some doubts.
