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

Chapter 701 Xinxin's Birthday

Director Li pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Lin Ke to sit down. "It's like this. As you know, Xinxin's birthday is in a few days. I want to give her a surprise, so I want to ask if you have any good ideas?"

Lin Ke suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So it's Xinxin's birthday. I didn't know that. Director Li, you are so thoughtful to even think of celebrating Xinxin's birthday."

Director Li sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "This girl works too hard. As a director, I feel sorry for her. So I want to take this opportunity to let her relax."

Lin Ke nodded to show his understanding. "Yes, Xinxin is indeed very dedicated and hardworking. Director Li, do you have any ideas? I'll see if I can help."

Director Li pondered for a moment and said, "I originally wanted to hold a birthday party for her, but I felt that it was too high-profile and not in line with Xinxin's personality. Besides, the crew is still filming, so it's not convenient to celebrate in a big way."

Lin Ke thought about it and said, "How about this, we give her a small birthday surprise on the set, something simple and warm, so that she can feel the warmth of the crew."

Director Li's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea! It's simple and warm, and it suits Xinxin's personality. How do we do it specifically?"

Lin Ke said: "We can keep it a secret first and not tell Xinxin, and then give her a sudden surprise after the filming. For example, we can prepare a cake, and then everyone can sing the birthday song together and send blessings."

Director Li nodded repeatedly, "This is a good idea, simple and warm. You can also prepare some small gifts, such as flowers, chocolates, etc."

Lin Ke added: "You can also take some photos and videos to record this wonderful moment."

Director Li said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, all of these are necessary! Lin Ke, you are so smart, these are all very good ideas!"

Lin Ke smiled and said, "Director Li, you are too kind. I am just offering some suggestions. You have to decide how to proceed."

Director Li patted Lin Ke on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's settled! This matter is now in your hands. You must give Xinxin an unforgettable birthday!"

Lin Ke readily agreed, "No problem, Director Li, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"

On the day of the birthday party, the atmosphere in the crew was particularly lively.

Wang Xinxin just thought that everyone was in a good mood because the filming went smoothly, and didn't think of it as her birthday at all.

After all, she hadn't mentioned her birthday on purpose since she joined the team, and her work schedule had been so tight recently that she almost forgot about it.

"Xinxin, you need to show more emotion in this scene and perform that kind of hidden sadness, do you understand?" Director Li held the loudspeaker and instructed Wang Xinxin carefully.

"Okay, Director Li, I'll try to get the feeling again." Wang Xinxin nodded and listened carefully to Director Li's explanation.

She studied the script over and over again, trying hard to get into the role.

Lin Ke watched silently from the side, his eyes full of admiration.

Wang Xinxin's serious attitude towards work always makes him admire her.

"Okay, get ready, action!" Following Director Li's order, Wang Xinxin quickly got into the state and interpreted the character's inner world vividly.

"Cut! This one passed. Xinxin performed very well!" Director Li called a stop with satisfaction, a relieved smile on his face.

Wang Xinxin let out a long sigh and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

"Xinxin, you are so awesome! This scene was so wonderful!" Lin Ke walked forward and praised sincerely.

"Thank you, Lin Ke, your encouragement is my motivation." Wang Xinxin responded with a smile, with gratitude in her eyes.

"Okay, everyone, take a break and prepare for the next scene!" Director Li announced.

The crew members began to get busy, some moving props, some adjusting lights, and the scene was in perfect order.

Taking advantage of the break, Lin Ke quietly slipped aside, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Brother Zhang, are the cakes and gifts ready?" Lin Ke asked in a low voice. "Don't worry, Brother Lin, everything has been arranged. I promise to give Miss Xinxin a big surprise!" A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhang." Lin Ke hung up the phone with relief.

He looked up at the time and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the protagonist to appear.

The shooting finally ended in the evening.

"Okay, that's it for today's shoot. Thank you all for your hard work!" Director Li announced.

"Yeah! We're done!" The crew members cheered, with relaxed smiles on their faces.

"Xinxin, let's go for a midnight snack. It's my treat!" Lin Ke walked up to Wang Xinxin and invited her enthusiastically.

"Okay, I'm hungry too." Wang Xinxin agreed happily.

"Let's go together!" Other staff members also responded.

The group walked out of the set, chatting and laughing, ready to find a place to treat themselves.

However, when they walked to the door of the set, they were stunned by the scene before them.

At the entrance of the studio, there was a huge birthday cake with candles all over it and decorated with colorful balloons and ribbons, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.

"This... this is..." Wang Xinxin covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Happy birthday, Xinxin!" Lin Ke walked up to Wang Xinxin with a smile and handed her a bouquet of bright roses.

"Happy birthday, Xinxin!" Other staff members also wished in unison.

Only then did Wang Xinxin realize that everyone had prepared a birthday surprise for her.

She was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes and she was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.

"Okay, Xinxin, don't cry. Today is your birthday, you should be happy." Lin Ke gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Yeah!" Wang Xinxin nodded, trying to calm herself down.

"Come on, Xinxin, make a wish!" Director Li pushed the cake in front of Wang Xinxin and said with a smile.

Wang Xinxin closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently made her birthday wish.

"Okay, blow out the candles!" Lin Ke reminded.

Wang Xinxin took a deep breath and blew out the candles on the cake.

"Clap, clap, clap!" There was warm applause at the scene.

"Come here, Xinxin, this is my birthday present for you. I hope you like it." Lin Ke handed an exquisite gift box to Wang Xinxin.

"Thank you, Lin Ke." Wang Xinxin took the gift and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Open it and take a look!" the staff around shouted.

Wang Xinxin felt a little embarrassed, but still opened the gift box under everyone's encouragement.
