Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 456 Special Screening
After the two chatted for a while, Lin Ke suddenly had an idea: "That's right! As a thank you and celebration, I will arrange a special screening of "The Wandering Earth" on the first weekend. Are you free? If it is convenient, please go to the cinema and watch "The Wandering Earth" "The Wandering Earth" is my little thought."

"Really? That's great!" Liu Yifei looked very happy, "Then you must go and see our director Lin's masterpiece. Send me the time and place on WeChat."

"No problem!" Lin Ke replied, "I will send it to you later. I hope to hear more direct feedback."

The weekend sunshine shines through the high windows of the cinema hall onto the bustling crowd. Lin Ke wore a low-key baseball cap and sunglasses covering half of his face to minimize the chance of being recognized. He arrived at the appointed place early and waited for Liu Yifei in the corner.

Not long after, Liu Yifei also appeared in the same low-key dress, "Oh~ Director Lin, so mysterious!" He smiled and patted Lin Ke on the shoulder.

"Haha, we are ordinary audiences today." Lin Ke pointed to his outfit, "Let's go in and watch the movie."

The two chose a relatively secluded seat at the back and sat down. Although there were many spectators around, waiting attentively for the movie to start, luckily, no one noticed these two special spectators.

"I never expected that "The Wandering Earth" would allow me to wear this outfit to watch a movie directed by myself." Lin Ke took off his sunglasses and relaxed, "It feels quite fresh."

"Haha! You should enjoy this process." Liu Yifei also relaxed, "To be honest, I have felt extraordinary from the trailers and publicity before. Today I finally have the opportunity to witness it with my own eyes."

The lights gradually dimmed, the commercial ended, and "The Wandering Earth" officially started playing. On the screen, stars shine, spaceships shuttle, ice and snow cover the earth... every scene is shocking.

"Wow! The visual effects are so awesome!" Liu Yifei couldn't help but admire in a low voice.

Lin Ke smiled slightly: "Thanks to the team's efforts. In fact, we encountered many difficulties during the production process."

The two sometimes watched intently, and sometimes exchanged opinions and feelings. Even as a director and industry insider, I was completely immersed in the fascinating story of "The Wandering Earth".

Until the end of the movie——

"I really didn't expect the ending to be like this..." Liu Yifei was slightly surprised, "It's so shocking!"

"Hey, it's always a good thing to maintain some suspense." Lin Ke nodded with satisfaction, "How about it? Are you satisfied with my little idea?"

"Super satisfied!" Tricky and sincere. "I have to write a good review to support "The Wandering Earth". You have brought a new atmosphere to the Chinese film industry!"

The last shot of the movie slowly faded out, and the entire theater fell into a brief silence, followed by thunderous applause. Lin Ke and Liu Yifei also stood up and applauded. They looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of each other's recognition of this work.

"Wow, that's great! Director Lin, you really have two skills!" Liu Yifei exclaimed while clapping his hands.

"Haha, it's all the result of team efforts." Lin Ke responded modestly, "I heard you say that today, so my work was not in vain."

As the crowd gradually dispersed, the two slowly walked out of the cinema. The sun was shining brightly outside, but not blindingly so.

"Today is really rewarding!" Liu Yifei stretched, "After watching this movie, I feel full of energy."

"Of course." Lin Ke smiled, "Come on, let me take you home?"

"Oh, Director Lin, why are you doing this?" Liu Yifei looked surprised, "I can just take a taxi back."

"You're welcome! We are not only partners but also friends." Lin Ke patted him on the shoulder, "And I am in a good mood today, so I happened to be on my way."

The two chatted more animatedly as they walked to the parking lot. "To be honest, "The Wandering Earth" shocked me so much. Especially the special effects scenes and the thinking behind the deep meaning..." Liu Yifei continued to express his feelings as he walked.

"Indeed." Lin Ke nodded in agreement, "Actually, we encountered many challenges during the production process. Every time we solved a problem, it was like overcoming an obstacle."

Liu Yifei suddenly blinked and said to Lin Ke half-jokingly: "Director Lin, you see that I support you so much, can you consider me playing the male lead in your next movie?"

Lin Ke laughed loudly when he heard this, "Are you going to step from behind the scenes to the stage? Okay, as long as there is a suitable role, you will definitely be the first one to think of me."

"Oh, did you hear that? I have evidence." Liu Yifei waved his arms pretending to be proud, "Everyone heard it, right?"

The two of them walked towards the exit of the parking lot while chatting. At this moment, a girl in a hurry almost bumped into Liu Yifei.

Upon seeing this, Lin Ke quickly reached out to hold Liu Yifei, avoiding a possible collision. However, during the process, the mask Liu Yifei was wearing accidentally slipped off.

"Ouch!" Liu Yifei covered his face in embarrassment, "My mask..."

Lin Ke also looked apologetic, "Sorry, I didn't expect this."

Just when the two of them felt a little embarrassed, a few surprised screams suddenly came from around them.

"Oh my God! Aren't you that...Liu Yifei?!"

"Really? I like him so much!"

Several young girls passing by quickly recognized Liu Yifei, who had just appeared. They took out their mobile phones, their eyes filled with stars.

"Can you, can you sign for us?" one of the girls asked cautiously, as if she was afraid of being rejected.

The other one was even more bold, "Can I take a photo with you? Even my friends won't believe that I met you!"

Looking at the group of fans who suddenly appeared in front of him, Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and showed the demeanor he should have as a public figure.

"Of course." He said with a smile, and began to take the pen and paper handed to him by fans and began to sign, "Thank you for liking me."

Lin Ke stood aside and watched this scene happen, secretly amused in his heart. "It seems I can't keep a low profile today."

After all the fans who asked for autographs and photos were satisfied and left, the two were able to continue walking to the parking lot. On the way, Lin Ke couldn't help but joked: "It seems that you are more popular than me! What should we do now? The whole city knows that we went to see a movie."

Liu Yifei could only smile and shake his head, "Well, this is the star effect. But having said that, I am really happy to see so many fans who support me today."

Lin Ke nodded, "Indeed. It feels like there are some twists and turns, but overall it's a good thing."

Just when Lin Ke and Liu Yifei were about to leave, someone else recognized them. This time it was not only fans of Liu Yifei, but also fans who recognized Lin Ke.
