Chapter 394 Keep Calm

Lin Chen smiled awkwardly. His life has indeed changed a bit, but it has only improved in terms of consumption. He used to travel by bus and occasionally take a taxi, but now he has more choices. He explained: "I always keep a normal mind and never waste money."

Fang Lan deeply agreed with this point. Their lives are indeed more practical than extravagant.

While the two were talking, Lin Chen's phone suddenly vibrated. It was An Ran calling. "The person has been rescued and is safe. You can tell your friends and don't worry." An Ran's voice came, and Lin Chen knew that the friend she was talking about was Deji. He was more concerned about An Ran's safety. "I am more worried about you!" His words were full of concern.

"You already knew?" There was a hint of surprise in An Ran's voice.

Lin Chen replied, "I've heard a little bit about it, but I'm not sure if it's related to the deadly Golden Snake Organization." An Ran knew Lin Chen's methods very well. When they first met, it was because Lin Chen helped her solve the problem of the communicator remotely. From then on, she knew that Lin Chen could always get unknown information through the machines or objects in his hands.

"We just came back and are about to interrogate him. We will let you know when we have accurate information. We will need your help then!" An Ran's goal this time is to completely destroy the deadly Golden Snake Organization. Lin Chen agreed without hesitation: "Contact me anytime, just like I asked you for help last time."

Lin Chen knew An Ran's pressure and determination, and the tacit understanding and trust between the two of them needed no further explanation. He opened the system and asked about the latest situation of the deadly Golden Snake Organization. "Yes, but it will cost 500,000." The system's voice was still indifferent. Lin Chen asked, "Is it the latest and most comprehensive information?" He had learned how to trade with the system. Sometimes he had to pay more, and sometimes he could save.

The system chuckled twice, mechanically and awkwardly: "The latest and most complete, already the lowest price, no need to be dissatisfied." Lin Chen smiled and said: "You are almost like a worm in my stomach, and you even know my inner thoughts." The system responded: "My master and I are of one mind, and naturally change with the master's temperament." Lin Chen said no more: "Deal, give me the information quickly."

This time, Lin Chen paid out of his own pocket. Although he was a little impulsive, he was willing to contribute his own strength for his friends, justice, and the country. Information gradually appeared on the system panel. Lin Chen quickly browsed and learned that the guide was the executor of this operation, and the person who contacted him was an intermediary contact of the deadly Golden Snake Organization. When the photo appeared, Lin Chen saw a handsome man - Ruan Qiyu. He enlarged the photo and observed it carefully, and found that the background behind Ruan Qiyu was abnormal.

He immediately called An Ran. Before he could speak, An Ran couldn't wait to say, "I was just about to tell you that it has been confirmed that the deadly Golden Snake Organization was responsible. The main targets are Han Linger and Zhi Youce, and the others are just incidental." An Ran's voice revealed a hint of urgency. Lin Chen hurriedly said, "That's exactly what I want to talk about. Through the guide, I have found another person who has contact with the top leaders of the Golden Snake. Just like last time, I will send you the real-time video." The tacit understanding between the two of them needed no further explanation.

After hanging up the phone, Anran acted quickly and prepared to attack based on the information on the APP and real-time GPS positioning.

When she saw the location, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God! It's so close!" She had never thought that this person who had close ties with the Golden Snake Organization was actually near their rescue location. If it weren't for the clues provided by Lin Chen, they might not have been able to find this person at all.

At the foot of the Himalayas, in a temporary rest area, Ruan Qiyu was calmly packing his equipment. He had just received an internal communication that he needed to leave this place and meet with the undercover personnel in the enemy.

A new mission has been launched, mainly to investigate the relationship between Han Linger and Zhi Youce and the military, whether there is a real connection or both times are just coincidences. For this operation, they will use a large number of undercover personnel, even those high-level undercovers who will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Lin Chen had no time to think about these things at this time. He had never thought that his small decision would cause such a huge wave. He only knew that because of Deji's "Life and Destiny" script and the sudden illness of a supporting role, he was involved in another storm.

As the main investor, he had to participate in the emergency meeting held by Deji and Fang Lan to discuss the script changes.

Fang Lan held the script in her hand, brows furrowed. "The doctor said he had a heart disease, which is very dangerous. He needs long-term observation. There is no way to tell when he can return to work." Deji also had a worried look on his face. The two looked at each other in silence, feeling that the road ahead was long and full of difficulties.

Although Lin Chen was not an expert in the current deadlock, he still tried to break the silence. He asked, "How many scenes have been filmed for him so far? Can't we change the actor to play the role?"

Hearing this, Deji shook his head and explained, "The problem is that he has already filmed more than half of his scenes. Replacing him at this time will involve a huge cost expenditure."

As she explained, she seemed to have repeatedly rejected the idea of ​​changing people in her mind.

In a film crew, the cost of replacing an actor needs to be calculated based on the scenes the actor has already filmed and the actors he has opposite scenes with.

This number needs to be carefully counted before a final conclusion can be drawn.

At this moment, Deji has instructed the assistant director to check the footage of the supporting actor who could not continue filming, in order to determine which people need to appear in the same frame with him and which shots only need to be completed by him alone.

The reshoots not only include the cost of equipment and staff, but also the cost of other actors who need to be reshooted together, which are costs that cannot be ignored.

Whenever Deji thought about this huge expense, he felt a headache.

Fang Lan was flipping through the script aimlessly. It was obvious that she was unwilling to change her script, but the problem was still before them and they needed to make a decision.

Lin Chen looked at Fang Lan and remained silent for a moment.

He could only guess at Fang Lan's mood at the moment. The most important thing was to listen to Fang Lan herself express her thoughts and attitude.

After Deji mentioned the cost issue, the three fell silent.

At this time, Fang Lan finally closed the script and said to the two of them seriously, "The script cannot be changed, and his part cannot be deleted. If it is deleted, everything will be messed up."

"Oh, I know that's the case." Deji also sighed.

When Lin Chen heard Deji mention the cost issue and saw Fang Lan's conflicted emotions, an idea came to his mind.

At this moment, he had thought it through completely, and said to the two people in front of him: "Although I am not a professional, I know a little bit. The quality of a drama depends on its story. If the story is not good, it doesn't matter how fancy the filming is."

Fang Lan and Deji both listened to Lin Chen carefully.

Lin Chen continued, "The script cannot be changed. Although no one wants this to happen, we must actively deal with it now that it has happened. Deji, go find a suitable person to replace him, and I'll pay for it!"

"But this is a huge amount of money. It makes me sad just thinking about it." Deji still looked heartbroken.

"If you really feel sorry for it, then we will make the drama more perfect and sell it at a good price! Deji, go and do your work. Don't worry about this matter. Just follow the normal process." Lin Chen said calmly.

Deji finally felt relieved. She looked at Lin Chen and Fang Lan with gratitude. She knew that she was able to resolve the crisis thanks to the people in front of her. She cheered herself up and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away." This extra expense could have been saved.

Based on Deji's past experience, she actually had a rough estimate in her mind, at least 10 million.

If this amount of money was converted into a house and a car, what would it be like? For her who had nothing now, this was indeed an astronomical figure.

Fang Lan also looked at Lin Chen in disbelief, her eyes full of complexity and entanglement.

Lin Chen did not have a specific idea of ​​the amount, but in his opinion, even if he added some more money, it would not exceed the original investment of more than 100 million.

He gently took Fang Lan into his arms and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Fang Lan's voice was a little low: "I was thinking, thank you so much."

"Oh, why do you sound so bitter? You've already invested in a drama, do you still need this little money? Besides, your drama has great potential, the problem has been solved, so don't think about it anymore." Lin Chen comforted.

Fang Lan is usually cheerful, but even though the crisis was resolved this time, she still seemed a little silent.

Lin Chen hugged her for a long time, but she seemed not to have fully recovered to her normal state.

Lin Chen pushed her away slightly, and the two stood face to face. He asked with some concern: "Don't feel burdened, this is really nothing to me. And think about it, this kind of thing often happens in other crews, and those investors will continue to invest more."

After hearing what Lin Chen said, Fang Lan's mood improved a little. She cheered up and said to Lin Chen: "It's hard to explain how I feel now. In short, I am very grateful to you and very happy, but it's also quite complicated."

Lin Chen laughed: "Don't make it so complicated. I'm still waiting to invest in your next play! Isn't it much easier to think this way?"

"Ah? Do you really have such an idea?" Fang Lan's attention was quickly diverted, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.

Lin Chen nodded to confirm that what he just said was true. Fang Lan also showed a shy smile on her face, and finally laughed: "Okay, I will remember it, and I will find you when the time comes."

"Well, it's a deal." Seeing that his sweetheart's mood had improved, Lin Chen felt much more relieved. He raised his hand and scratched Fang Lan's nose.

On the other side of the Himalayas, when An Ran was about to reach the designated location, the person shown on the APP had already left. She had to readjust her direction and hurriedly called the headquarters to report the situation: "The suspect is now heading to the Yangma Highway, where there are many forks and I can't keep tracking him. Request the organization to set up roadblocks at the forks to intercept him!"

At the military headquarters, Liu Dingcang had just hung up the phone when he saw Fang Weihai coming over to report. He waved Fang Weihai over and said, "Go ahead, what do you want to report? Tell me quickly, I have to go to Fengcheng for a meeting later."

While talking to Fang Weihai, Liu Dingcang sorted out the materials on the table.

Fang Weihai had already informed in advance that he was coming and said that he had something to say. This was also the result of Liu Dingcang's lax management of Fang Weihai.

Fang Weihai knew that what he wanted to say was neither urgent nor important, but if he hesitated and refused to say it at this moment, it would delay things.

"Actually, I came here to ask you for approval regarding the rescue vehicle from last time. I want to see if we can add a few more!" Fang Weihai stated the purpose of his visit in one breath.

This was indeed not an emergency. Liu Dingcang thought about it for a while, and seeing that he still had plenty of time, he talked to Fang Weihai: "Even if it's the country's money, it should be spent on the right things. I've learned about the rescue you mentioned. Not all situations are like this one. Maybe not so much equipment is needed."

After hearing what Liu Dingcang said, Fang Weihai, based on his understanding of him, felt that this matter was likely to fail. He stood there without saying anything, nor did he leave.

Liu Dingcang had packed his things, and his secretary was waiting at the door. When he was about to leave, he saw Fang Weihai still standing there, so he said, "Why, aren't you going back yet? I've already responded to this matter, why are you still standing here?"

Fang Weihai said quickly: "In the past, so many devices cost more and we were very happy about it. Why do you disagree this time? In fact, the cost is not high."

Hearing this, Liu Dingcang stopped and turned around to say to him: "Everything requires a specific plan, with cause and effect. If you just say this, I will agree to you, wouldn't that be a mess?"

He looked at his watch again. Time was indeed urgent, so he didn't say anything more to Fang Weihai.

Fang Weihai still stood there, watching Liu Dingcang leave. As for adding more rescue vehicles, we can only wait and see if there is a chance in the future.

What he didn't expect was that when Liu Dingcang just arrived at the door, he added: "According to the current situation, let Lin Chen add one more car first. I won't report it and it will be paid for from the funds here."

After saying this, Liu Dingcang turned around the door and disappeared. Fang Weihai quickly picked up his phone to contact Da Huangdi.

In the main hall of the Qin Palace in Linhai Ancient City, Zhu Jieming and Xia Tong have an extremely important scene to be filmed here.

The crew's scenes are not arranged in exact chronological order. Often the later scenes are inserted into the earlier ones in order to reduce transitions.

Lin Chen knew the plot of this part. Previously, Zhao Feiyan used a pill provided by a demon to cause Emperor Cheng to die suddenly.

After that, Zhao Feiyan also lost her life due to other reasons. All those who have a bad death always want to leave something in the world.
