Goodbye Liu Yifei

"Let me check the time."

Zhang Yang thought about what excuse to use to postpone the date, preferably that there were no showtimes at the cinema tonight.

"Good news!"

Logging into the private cinema's official website on his phone, Zhang Yang's heart leaped with joy upon seeing the showtimes.

There was a showing tonight, but it was at 10:25 PM. He could completely go get the opportunity first and then watch the movie with Nazha.

"The movie starts at 10:30 PM, so we'll have plenty of time if we get there at ten," Zhang Yang put away his phone, looking at Nazha with a relaxed expression.

"So late?" Nazha frowned subconsciously.

If the movie didn't start until 10:30 PM, it would be past 1 AM by the time she and Zhang Yang got back to the hotel. That would seriously affect her sleep quality, and how could she be in good condition for filming the next day?

Thinking this, Nazha voiced her concerns.

But after hearing her out, Zhang Yang's expression was full of playful amusement.

"Did I say something wrong?" Nazha's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

If Zhang Yang couldn't give her a satisfactory explanation, she'd have an extra bowl of rice tonight and make him "splurge" heavily!

"You're right," Zhang Yang retracted his playful expression, a smile on his face. "It's just that you didn't listen carefully to the production schedule. Filming doesn't start until 1 PM tomorrow, and it's my battlefield scenes. You have the day off."

There was such an arrangement?

The blush that hadn't completely faded from Nazha's face reappeared. She was clearly embarrassed, but she put on a tough front. "Who doesn't get distracted sometimes? It's just a coincidence."

Zhang Yang gave her a thumbs-up. "Nazha, sometimes you're really like a duck."

"A duck?" Nazha pondered for a moment before nodding. "Little ducks are quite cute."

Zhang Yang: "..."

"After a duck dies, only its mouth remains hard."

Nazha:?

Nazha's pretty face instantly turned crimson. She was angry.

She was angry that Zhang Yang was teasing her like this, but even more so that she hadn't understood and thought it was cute.

"My mouth is hard, is it? I'll bite you to death!"

"Heh, don't even think about it!"

Zhang Yang and Nazha chased each other around the chairs for a while, playing a game of "eagle catching chicks."

Nazha put her hands on her hips, her chest heaving. "Apologize, and treat me to something delicious tonight."

"Okay." Zhang Yang didn't refuse. He even deliberately found a Xinjiang cuisine restaurant online and took Nazha there.

He had to appease her first. If he got tied up with an opportunity tonight, he'd have an easier time comforting her.

Xinjiang Big Plate Chicken, Xinjiang Fried Rice Noodles, all medium spicy. The flavors were delicious.

When the time was right, Zhang Yang first sent Nazha back to the hotel, then returned to Hengdian World Studios, easily entering with his actor's pass.

He went straight to the vicinity of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" scenic spot. It was very lively there today. Several cranes were set up around the pavilion in the back lake of the Fan Tower, illuminated by several large lights, making the entire filming scene as bright as day.

"The crew filming here now should be for the movie version of The Four Great Constables, right?" Zhang Yang recalled, a spark in his eyes.

The Four Great Constables was directed by Chen Jiashang and starred Deng Chao, Liu Yifei, Zheng Zhongji, Zou Zhaolong, and Huang Laogou, among others. It was quite a big production.

However, when crews in Hong Kong filmed this type of subject matter, it always felt a bit small-scale, or it was a mindless attempt to copy foreign blockbusters, chasing trends without thinking.

This The Four Great Constables was notoriously bad. A Chinese wuxia film managed to bring together elements from Fantastic Four, Wolverine, and Resident Evil, as well as superpowers like those from X-Men and One Piece.

It was less The Four Great Constables and more of a supernatural fan-fiction film. Zhang Yang had gone to see it back then to support "Goddess Sister" and had been utterly cringed out the entire time.

"There are many big stars in The Four Great Constables, so it's not surprising that an opportunity would trigger," Zhang Yang pondered whether or not to use his Character Points.

Based on his judgment, opportunity events occurred with current or future big names in the industry. If he seized the opportunity, he could gain their gratitude and build connections.

There were many big stars in The Four Great Constables crew, and it was difficult for him to discern who the opportunity would involve on his own.

If he could know the method to seize the opportunity in advance, perhaps he could make a judgment beforehand.

It didn't matter if he couldn't make a judgment; with the method in hand, he could always solve the other party's troubles.

However, Zhang Yang soon realized he didn't need to worry.

As soon as he reached the lake scene, which had been made into a prince's mansion, he was stopped by the external security and crew members arranged by The Four Great Constables crew. "Hello, filming is in progress inside. You can't enter without a pass for now."

Zhang Yang knew this situation well. If he knew someone in the crew, he could just call them to bring him in.

"I forgot my pass, big brother. Do I look like someone who shouldn't be allowed into this crew?" Zhang Yang tried to use his looks.

He had used this trick before. People thought he was handsome, not a bad person, and possibly an actor in the crew, so they let him in.

"I don't recognize you. What's wrong with your face?" The uncle had a honest appearance and spoke with a Henan accent.

Zhang Yang: "..."

Another security uncle nearby also said, "Meng and I are both face-blind. We recognize people by their credentials, not their faces."

Zhang Yang: "..."

"Pfft." A few girls' laughter came from the side.

They were extras from a nearby TV drama crew, here to chase stars and pay "homage."

Zhang Yang: "."

Laughing at me, huh? Believe it or not, I'll have Liu Yifei come out to pick me up.

Zhang Yang took out his phone, preparing to call Lin Feng.

With the other person's connections and status, it would be a simple matter to get him into the crew.

If he could get into the crew, he decided to spend Character Points to look at the guide.

Seeing his action, some people around immediately stopped laughing.

Does this young man have some kind of background?

"."

The call went through, but no one answered.

After waiting for more than a minute, Zhang Yang's facial muscles became a little stiff.

At this time, Lin Feng must have had too much to drink and wasn't paying attention to his phone.

He could also call Lin Feng's assistant and go through them to find Lin Feng.

But was that necessary?

"Hello? Yes."

"Mm, mm."

"Okay, I understand..."

Zhang Yang naturally turned and walked to the side, disappearing around the corner quickly.

Everyone present: "."

"Hoo."

Zhang Yang put away his phone and rubbed his face.

As long as he himself isn't embarrassed, the embarrassment falls on others.

As for looking for Liu Yifei, although they had been in the Chinese Paladin 1 crew together, they weren't close.

Liu Yifei and Tangren later had a falling out. Even Old Hu only exchanged WeChat with her in '23; before that, they had almost no interaction.

Of course, Old Hu could have gotten her number if he wanted, but there was no need.

If he asked Tang Yan, he could also get her number, but looking for someone out of the blue to become friends with is a major taboo.

Facing this situation, he decided to find a place to sneak in himself.

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Yang stood by the artificial lake, falling silent.

The huge filming location had no place for him to climb over the wall, can you believe it?

Forget it. He couldn't even get into the crew, so any method that could grasp an opportunity was useless. He'd just consider it saving a Character Point.

He glanced at the time and turned to leave. But as he passed the staff entrance he had first arrived at, he heard a sudden uproar from inside the set.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Yang's eyes changed, and he immediately ran towards the entrance.

Passing a fence, the two security guards standing there were called away by the set manager and ran towards the crew.

"Good opportunity." Zhang Yang took advantage of everyone's attention being focused inside the filming area, propped one hand on the fence, and climbed over to the inside.

He didn't take the main path openly but crept along the edge. Two minutes later, he reached the center of the set and found many people gathered around a house, discussing something.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Yang was curious. His gaze swept around, and he finally chose to walk along the military tent closest to him.

When he reached the tent, he found a woman wearing a jacket standing there. He directly went up and asked familiarly, "What happened?"

The woman seemed startled and turned to look at him, saying, "Chao Ge's stunt double fell."

Deng Chao's stunt double fell?

Could saving the stunt double be the opportunity he was supposed to seize this time?

If he could save the stunt double, it would indeed earn him the gratitude of many, including Deng Chao and the director.

Unfortunately, he missed it.

Speaking of which, this woman's voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Zhang Yang turned to look at the woman's face and froze the next second.

Internal monologue: Holy crap, Liu Yifei!
