Chapter 409: Too Expensive, Can't Afford It

Fang Lan pretended to think seriously, then smiled and said, "It's too expensive. I can't afford it. I'd better use the existing mechanic first."

Lin Chen laughed out loud when he heard this, and found this answer quite interesting. They both knew that it was impossible for Lin Chen to work as a mechanic, and this was just a joke.

At this time, Anfia came to the shooting site and saw Lin Chen and Fang Lan. She was embarrassed to disturb them and went directly to find Deji. Lin Chen happened to see this scene and asked Fang Lan: "Which part do you want to shoot next?"

Fang Lan explained: "The Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon set fire to the pearl in the palace. The Dragon King of the West Sea has reported this to the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court will soon send someone down to punish the Third Prince."

"What about our teacher Anfia?" Lin Chen continued to ask.

"The mermaid is a friend that the Third Prince Long met after being punished." Fang Lan said this and suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Haven't you read the script? Why are you asking me?" Then she pouted, "I can tell you I didn't read it carefully at first glance."

Lin Chen smiled and responded: "I just didn't think of it for the moment, so I took the initiative to ask you."

In this instance, there is a fish demon who has always had a crush on the Third Dragon Prince. After the Third Dragon Prince was punished, she worked hard but eventually lost to her opponent and died, turning into a resentful spirit. Removing the curse of this resentful spirit is the core mission of this instance.

Fang Lan pulled Lin Chen to his feet and said, "Quick, this time our actor for the Third Prince of the Dragon is Qian Xi, a very hard-working and promising young man. Let's go and take a look."

The shooting location and where Lin Chen is located belong to two different courtyards. They need to pass through the moon gate of this courtyard, walk out of the second courtyard, and then change to another courtyard to arrive.

As soon as they walked out of the courtyard gate, they found that the cordon was already crowded with people. As soon as they appeared, fans screamed, especially girls, and the decibels were higher.

"Wow, what's going on? It can't be that serious, right?" Lin Chen was a little confused when he first came out, but then he realized, "Are these all Qianxi's fans?"

"It's yours." Fang Lan replied.

Lin Chen looked up again, and this look made the fans scream even more enthusiastically. Every time Lin Chen wanted to look up, he had to control himself quickly to avoid causing a bigger commotion.

The yard they were in was actually not far from the other yard where the filming was being done, just a few steps away. Lin Chen quickened his pace, wanting to enter the other yard as soon as possible. However, just before he was about to enter, he stopped.

The fans were excited again when they saw him stop. The staff were not originally maintaining order at the cordon, but upon hearing the noise, they all stood by the cordon immediately, fearing that the fans would break through the cordon and cause an uncontrollable situation.

Seeing Lin Chen stop, Fang Lan asked curiously, "Are you going to interact with them?"

In Fang Lan's impression, Lin Chen has never cared much about fans, and even rejected them. At this time, she was also a little confused about Lin Chen's plan.

Lin Chen took two steps back and approached the fans. He looked carefully at the crowd and found that the signs they were holding were indeed of Lin Chen.

"Don't gather here. Work when you should work and play when you should play. After I go in, I will basically not come out at night." Lin Chen said earnestly, as if he was sincerely persuading them.

The fans also seemed very excited and obedient. "Yes, we listen to you."

"Lin Chen is so thoughtful! He even told us because he was worried that we would wait too long."

"Then when will you come out? We will come again tomorrow." A sharp voice sounded in the crowd.

After hearing this question, the fans who were about to leave stopped and waited for Lin Chen's answer.

Lin Chen responded without much expression on his face: "It depends on the progress of the filming, I'm not sure. I don't like fans to come here and wait. If you support me, you can wait for our drama to be broadcast, or interact on Weibo!"

After getting the answer, everyone was willing to leave with peace of mind. The person in charge of security led them to leave the scene in an orderly manner. Lin Chen also followed Fang Lan around the yard and went to another filming location.

Fang Lan teased: "This is incredible, are you already preparing to interact with your fans?"

Lin Chen seemed to be thinking about something at this time, but he still responded to her: "There is no other way. We have to think of other ways." He quickly reacted, "Who let them in? This is the most fundamental problem."

He had already cast a suspicious look at Fang Lan. Fang Lan sensed it and quickly waved her hands: "This is really none of my business. If you want to find someone, go find Deji." It seems that Fang Lan also knew about this, but did not stop it.

"Why did Deji let my fans come?" Lin Chen asked.

"It's not just about inviting your fans to come, but other people's fans can also come. This can be considered a way to increase fan stickiness," Fang Lan explained.

According to Lin Chen's understanding, what Fang Lan said was actually for publicity.

Deji had high hopes for this play and used almost every promotional method he could think of.

She hopes that fans can come to visit the set, even if it's just a quick glance, it can be regarded as a return to the fans. The two courtyards in the crew are designed ingeniously. Whenever there is a change of scenes, Lin Chen may walk out of the courtyard and meet these waiting fans unexpectedly.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but wonder: "Why are only my fans guarding the door?"

Fang Lan explained with a smile: "Because the fans of other actors were persuaded to leave by their staff, but your fans were extremely persistent and refused to leave no matter how much they were persuaded."

Seeing that Lin Chen seemed a little unhappy, Fang Lan quickly added: "Actually, this is not a bad thing. You handled it well and it didn't cause any negative impact. Besides, your fans seem to be more loyal. Have you ever thought about managing them well?"

Lin Chen shook his head and said frankly, "I really don't have this plan, but now it seems that I can only do it slowly. For the sake of "Life and Death", I have to cooperate with the promotion occasionally." At this time, Lin Chen noticed that the crew members were busy, and he couldn't help but have other thoughts in his mind. He said self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I am 'trapped' by this drama. Although I am not an insider, now we are all grasshoppers in the same boat, and I can only be forced to 'operate'!"

Afterwards, Fang Lan took Lin Chen to the yard where the filming was to take place. Some of the trees in the yard had been carefully decorated, adding to the atmosphere for the upcoming filming. Today's scenes were not set in the room, but in the yard.

Lin Chen immediately saw the young man that Fang Lan had mentioned before. He was tall and thin, and was listening carefully to the old actor's explanation of the play, nodding his head from time to time to show his agreement.

"He is truly a rising star of the future, and everyone likes him very much." Fang Lan praised.

"Is it because of his fame or because of his ability?" Lin Chen asked curiously. After all, he didn't have much contact with the entertainment industry and didn't know much about this information.

Fang Lan's eyes were still fixed on the boy: "It's a bit of both. Although he started out as a child star, his popularity has always been very high. More importantly, he works very hard and his acting skills are very good. Moreover, he has a good character, so everyone is very optimistic about him."

Hearing Fang Lan's comments, Lin Chen nodded secretly. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. In order to avoid affecting the filming, he quickly walked aside and answered the phone.

"Oh, what brought our Captain An here? He actually called me on his own initiative." Lin Chen said jokingly.

An Ran's voice on the other end of the phone was a little noisy, as if she was on the way: "I want to ask you something, can you remotely upgrade the equipment of our Iron Man armor troops? Just like you were able to communicate with me remotely before."

Lin Chen shook his head after hearing this: "That won't work. Are you in any trouble?"

He secretly speculated that An Ran might have encountered some difficulties by making such a request at this time. However, this Iron Man armor could not be enhanced remotely. If An Ran really encountered trouble, there seemed to be no immediate solution.

Lin Chen's tone revealed a hint of anxiety. But An Ran was relatively calm: "It's okay, I just thought that if there is any, I will contact you for enhancement. If not, forget it, this is just an advance idea of ​​mine."

"The fact that you have such advance thoughts means that things are not simple, right?" Lin Chen keenly noticed something.

An Ran was silent for a while, then said, "This time we are going to the southwest to carry out a mission. It's our first time going there, so I want to be as safe as possible."

She did not reveal the specific mission content to Lin Chen, after all, it was confidential. But Lin Chen could still sense a hint of worry in her tone.

"How about this, you turn on your independent positioning function. If there is any emergency, I can know your location and talk to you." Lin Chen suggested.

This is a function of the Iron Man armor. Although An Ran did not directly equip the armor, she had a bracelet with the same function. After the two finished communicating, Lin Chen hung up the phone. He stood there and adjusted his equipment. After a while, he saw that An Ran's positioning and communication functions had been turned on.

On the border of Southwest City, An Ran led the team to the designated location. However, the plan suddenly changed. A phone call from the person in charge forced An Ran to adjust his original plan.

"I will send you the location here, and you need to get there quickly. If there are any temporary changes, I will notify you in time." The person in charge said hurriedly on the phone.

An Ran quickly adjusted the direction and led the team to the new location. On the way, she began to ask the people she was traveling with for details.

"What's going on? There was no detailed explanation over the phone. You should be more familiar with the situation here, right?" An Ran asked.

The person being questioned was sitting in the passenger seat, and the car was moving very fast. He turned his head slightly and tried to explain to An Ran: "The information I know now is similar to what you know. But it is understandable that they changed their location. They are very perceptive and may have noticed our actions, so they changed their location."

An Ran frowned upon hearing this. She originally thought that although this mission was urgent, it was not critical. However, this phone call and the degree of bumpy ride in the car made her realize that the situation might be much more serious than she thought.

"Will they go to South Vietnam again?" An Ran asked. Most of the missions she carried out were within the jurisdiction of her own military region. Even if there were joint missions, they had never reached the border of the southwest. South Vietnam was another country bordering the southwest, and the situation there was very complicated.

The person traveling with him was silent for a while, then said, "Their whereabouts are erratic, but since they have changed their location, they may go to South Vietnam again. We must be fully prepared."

An Ran nodded, feeling even heavier in his heart. It took them two hours to finally reach the designated southwest border. There were multiple sentry points here, and An Ran led the team and followed the guide to one of them.

At this time, the person in charge of the team had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw An Ran coming, he immediately went to greet her and said, "You are really fast." Then he turned around and walked quickly towards the operations office.

An Ran was already used to this tense atmosphere. She followed the person in charge to the office and saw a simple route and personnel allocation diagram drawn on the whiteboard.

"According to the tip-off, the men led by Kurokawa have gone to this location," the person in charge said, pointing to a point on the border. "We have determined their location as accurately as possible. But if they change their location again during this process, it will affect our pursuit."

After explaining the basic situation, the person in charge gave an order: "Time is tight. If we delay for a minute, they may move to a new location, which will greatly increase the difficulty of our search. Let's set off now!"

After saying this, he ordered everyone to set out separately. They were to form a circle along the long border and try to attack the enemy from both sides.

An Ran got in the car again. This time the road conditions were even worse than before. The car was bumpy and the sky was gradually getting dark. Until late at night, even the moonlight disappeared. They could only rely on the car lights and their own lighting equipment to move forward.

Finally, under the illumination of the car lights in front of them, they spotted a figure. The car quickly stopped, and when An Ran was about to get out, he heard the person in front of him say, "It's one of us."

Everyone got out of the car and used the lighting equipment to see the road clearly. The person in charge of meeting them started to climb up the mountain anxiously and shouted to them: "They are over here, come up quickly!"

"Hurry up! We'll be running soon!" the people around him urged.

Everyone was ready, their guns were loaded, and they were ready to attack at any time in an emergency. The weapons of the Iron Man armored troops led by An Ran were more advanced than the previous equipment, and they were superior in both startup speed and attack speed.
