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

Chapter 458 Hello Sunday

"Oh! Director Lin, what's the matter?" The other party looked a little surprised.

"Hey, are you free? Hello Sunday invites us to participate in the variety show next week."

"Really? That's great! I'm definitely free." Xiao Li replied excitedly.

Then, Lin Ke called several other actors one after another. Everyone expressed similar excitement and anticipation.

When the last phone call ended, Lin Ke could already feel that the entire crew was about to have another opportunity to unite and show off. "Everyone is so excited!" he said to himself.

However, after confirming everyone's time, Lin Ke suddenly realized a problem - how to arrive at the variety show filming site. Since the location is slightly remote, and considering factors such as the large number of team members and tight schedule, ordinary transportation seems not suitable.

At this time, he had an idea, "How about a charter flight?" Thinking of this, he immediately contacted his agent Li Feng to discuss the matter.

"Charter a flight? That's a good idea!" Li Feng thought it was feasible after hearing this, "I'll make arrangements right away."

It didn't take long for everything to be arranged. On the eve of departure, Lin Ke informed everyone of the specific plan through a group chat: "Gather at 8: tomorrow morning, don't be late!"

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and everyone arrived as scheduled. Excitement and anticipation were written on everyone's faces.
"Haha! Today we are the 'private jet family'!" one of the actors said with a smile.
"Stop pretending! Get on the plane quickly! You can rehearse on the plane later!" Another actor joked.
As everyone boarded the plane one after another, Lin Ke looked at the familiar and energetic faces around him, feeling deep gratitude and pride in his heart.
As soon as Lin Ke and his party stepped out of the cabin, they were shocked by the sight in front of them - the entire arrivals hall of the airport was almost packed, with enthusiastic fans holding various support items and holding high posters of "Lin Ke" and "The Wandering Earth" Overflowing, cheers and screams came one after another.

"Wow! Is this here to pick us up?" A crew member opened his mouth in surprise.

Lin Ke adjusted the brim of his hat and said with a smile: "It seems we are really popular! Thank you everyone for coming to pick us up."

They moved forward slowly, guided by security personnel through the crowd. At this moment, Qu Chuxiao squeezed through the crowd and walked to Lin Ke.

"Director Lin!" Qu Chuxiao gasped slightly, "I didn't expect you to be so hot now!"

Lin Ke patted him on the shoulder, "Haha, it's all the result of team efforts. By the way, I heard that you are also very popular recently?"

Qu Chuxiao touched his hair, "It's not bad, mainly because of the east wind of "The Wandering Earth". I came here specifically to thank you today."

"You're welcome." Lin Ke replied with a smile, "I'm very happy to be able to cooperate. And you have the strength yourself."

Several people chatted and moved toward the exit. "I didn't expect there would be so many fans." Qu Chuxiao sighed.

"Me too." Lin Ke nodded, "But this also gives us more motivation to continue working hard, right?"

Suddenly, a fan shouted: "Come on, Director Lin! We look forward to more works from you!"

There was a chorus of echoes all around: "Come on, come on!"

Hearing such warm and supportive words, Lin Ke was filled with gratitude. "Thank you everyone!" he waved to the fans.

Subsequently, with the assistance of staff, they successfully arrived at the parking area. After getting in the car, Lin Ke turned to look at his companions and said with a smile: "Before going to the shooting location, how about we find a place to fill our stomachs first? The scene just now was so spectacular that I even forgot that I was hungry!"

"Good idea!" Qu Chuxiao was the first to express his support, "I know there is a very good small restaurant nearby."

The convoy started and headed towards the target direction. The motorcade slowly drove into the gate where the program was recorded, and the sun shone on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled shadows. As soon as Lin Ke, Qu Chuxiao and others got out of the car, they saw Teacher He walking over quickly.

"Hey! Our great director Lin Ke is here!" Teacher He greeted him enthusiastically while smiling and waving.

Lin Ke smiled and stretched out his hand, "Long time no see, Teacher He! Today you are here to receive us in person."

"Haha, do you need to say this? "The Wandering Earth" is so popular, how could I not welcome you personally?" Teacher He joked, "Come in, it's already ready."

The group of them followed Teacher He into the recording scene. Along the way, the staff and other guests looked at Lin Ke with envy and admiration.

"I never expected that "The Wandering Earth" would make you famous all over the country." Teacher He chatted while walking, "I remember when you first entered the industry..."

"Oh my, it was so hard back then." Lin Ke shook his head and smiled, "Thanks to you for giving me the chance."

The two looked at each other and smiled, looking for bits and pieces of the difficult years together in their memories.

"But looking at the current results, all the efforts are worth it." Teacher He said with emotion, "Especially "The Wandering Earth" is simply a miracle in the Chinese film industry."

"It all depends on team efforts and fan support." Lin Ke replied modestly, "Actually, I just did what I should do."

After they walked to the rest area and sat down, the conversation became more relaxed. "By the way, Director Lin, I heard that you have started a new project recently?" Teacher He asked.

"Hehe, it's still in the planning stage." Lin Ke smiled mysteriously, "If it goes well, I hope to cooperate with you again."

"That's necessary!" Teacher He assured her with a pat on her chest, "As long as you need me, you can always ask me."

Qu Chuxiao listened with interest: "I'm really looking forward to it! Can you reveal some information in advance?"

Lin Ke shook his head: "Let's keep it secret for now. I won't tell everyone until it is officially launched."

The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed.

Lin Ke and Qu Chuxiao had just entered the dressing room, ready to start preparations for today's shooting, when suddenly there was a noise from next door.

"I just want to use this dressing room! Get out of here!" A sharp female voice penetrated the door panel.

Lin Ke frowned and said to Qu Chuxiao, "It seems that someone is looking for trouble."

A stylishly dressed female star with heavy makeup stood at the door, followed by two assistants.

As soon as Xia Xinrou came in, her menacing look made the air in the entire dressing room tense. She pointed directly at Lin Ke and Qu Chuxiao, and said in a sharp voice: "You two, get out of here immediately! This place is mine today."

Qu Chuxiao turned his head leisurely and glanced at Xia Xinrou. He did not act immediately. Instead, he asked calmly: "Do you have an appointment? We also put on makeup here according to the schedule."

Xia Xinrou didn't expect to be asked back. She was stunned for a moment, and then became even more unhappy: "Do you know who I am? Let me tell you, this dressing room belongs to me today. Don't talk nonsense to me!"
