Chapter 14: Brushing Favorability and Blocking Bazookas with Barbed Wire
"Fei Fei, you want to eat today..."

An Fangfei's mother, Liu Li, was stunned when she saw her daughter putting on makeup. She changed her mind mid-sentence and said, "Aren't you not going to class or physical therapy today?"

Ever since Lu Yun dared to say that An Fangfei really dared not to act, she returned to the big villa in the capital.

After she held her cousin down and asked her to keep it a secret, she told her mother that she was exhausted from filming three movies in a row last year, and her cervical and lumbar vertebrae were a little uncomfortable. She needed to rest and it was also a good opportunity to hone her acting skills.

After all, it was said that three films were shot in a row last year, but in fact two of them only started shooting at the end of last year and were not completed until April or May this year. Later, he went on the roadshow for "To You" continuously, so it makes sense that he felt unwell.

Liu Li is also a good mother who loves her daughter very much. If she doesn't want to act, then she doesn't have to. Her family is not short of money anyway, and she even has several endorsements and commercials waiting to be filmed.

Not to mention the improvement of acting skills, which is a very subjective thing. In addition, An Fangfei actually found an acting tutoring class called "Zhang Songwen International Acting Studio" to learn acting. The teacher looks average and his name is Zhang Songwen.

At first, Liu Li was wondering why they chose him, since there were obviously more famous acting teachers. But An Fangfei said that she was introduced by a classmate, and she also witnessed one of Zhang Songwen's tutoring classes and could feel that his acting skills and coaching abilities were indeed solid, so she agreed.

The most important thing is that your baby is willing, so you can only spoil him.

So An Fangfei has classes two days a week, and spends the rest of the time playing with cats, reading books, etc. in the Dabie Mountains. It's very leisurely.

By the way, she also needs acupuncture as she does have some chronic problems with her cervical spine.

Liu Li knew that her daughter's weekly outing schedule was basically fixed, and she wondered what she wanted to do at the last minute. After all, her daughter didn't wear makeup when going to class or physical therapy, and she was very willful.

This time I had to put on makeup when I went out.

"Oh, I made an appointment with some friends to go play and shoot guns."

"?"

An Fangfei is already in her twenties, and Liu Li no longer controls her like she did when she was a teenager. But is it a serious friendship to ask your daughter to go shooting?
An Fangfei simply put on some light makeup. Seeing her mother in a daze, she turned around and hugged her, saying, "Oh~ my dear mother, we are just a serious friend. You are here to block the perverted Lu brother for me."

"Talk to me nicely," Liu Li said, pulling her daughter off her body. "Brother Lu, you're talking about Lu Yun, right? I blocked that pervert for you, and you're taking advantage of me and acting like my sister..."

After the mother and daughter chatted for a few minutes, Liu Li knew the whole story. Lu Yun had taken on a military action scene and wanted to try out the feel of live-fire shooting. The crew happened to be in Beijing, so they found An Fangfei, who was also in Beijing, to be their guide.

Thinking that the two of them were going to shoot guns, they would probably be covered in the smell of gunpowder, and there would not be any ambiguous atmosphere.

And An Fangfei treated Lu Yun as her younger brother who was three years younger than her, so Liu Li let her daughter go with peace of mind.

But he still reminded her, "Call your cousin. 'To You' is still in theaters. It's not good for you, the female lead and the second male lead, to be photographed. Your cousin can cover it up a bit. Of course, it would be even better if you weren't photographed at all."

"Don't worry, Mom, I understand~"

Compared to Liu Li's idea, Lu Yun's idea was not simple. He took the initiative to build relationships.

To put it nicely, it is to maintain friendship; to put it bluntly, it is to pave the way for borrowing money in the future.

Yes, Lu Yun has decided to borrow money from rich woman An!

Although not letting An Fangfei shoot those four bad movies was for her own good, in a sense it was actually considered as "owing someone a favor". Since I have already owed it, I might as well not bother two people and just repay it to the end.

After all, in a sense, owing many favors to others is not always a bad thing. It can also deepen certain bonds.

"Here, I brought you a gift."

Looking at the gift Lu Yun took out of his pocket, An Fangfei laughed out loud.

"You're only giving me something worth two dollars a piece, right?"

"Just tell me whether you like it or not?"

"Of course~"

An Fangfei happily took the bottle of calcium milk, inserted a straw and started drinking.

Hey, that's what we like!
Liu Xiaoxin curled her lips at the side, the scene was unbearable to watch.

A two-dollar gift, one dares to give, the other happily receives.

It feels so déjà vu.

But last time it involved four movies, tens of millions in revenue and a lot of exposure.

This time just a bottle of calcium milk!
"Alright, alright, you're not here to shoot, why are you drinking?"

"Coach, what should I pay attention to when practicing live-fire?"

Although Liu Xiaoxin wanted to complain, the place Lu Yun found was indeed good. In order to prevent being photographed, he even asked for a VIP room, which not only ensured privacy but also provided professional coaches to guide the whole process.

But Liu Xiaoxin soon discovered that the professional coach was always guiding her.
Where are Lu Yun and An Fangfei?
Lu Yun is guiding An Fangfei.

"Don't worry, Ms. Liu," the coach said. "Mr. Lu had already practiced before you came. He's quite professional and will have no problem instructing Ms. An. But you need to concentrate and keep the butt of the gun close to your shoulder..."

Liu Xiaoxin: “…”

Lu Yun and An Fangfei got along very well. While guiding and being guided, they also chatted about family matters. Although they usually chatted on the phone, it was obviously more interesting to chat face to face.

"... Could you please send an autographed photo to my mom? My brothers and sisters from your family are all big fans of yours. They've been arguing with me since they saw the news."

"It's okay. I have a box of autographed photos at home. It's quite profitable to exchange a few photos for a few die-hard fans. But doesn't Auntie like me?"

"Yes, she's also your fan, so I withheld all the autographed photos. I told them to go back to her to get autographed photos after they find a partner."

"Auntie, are you so... domineering?"

"No, actually I just want to keep it for now and give it to them as New Year's money..."

"Keep it, give it as New Year's money, and then give it to me... It feels like déjà vu..."

Lu Yun had seen a video of An Fangfei shooting a gun in his previous life, which showed that she was not averse to this sport. It just so happened that Lu Yun felt itchy after his breakthrough in gun skills, so he decided to make an appointment.

After it was over, both of them were quite satisfied. Lu Yun even felt a pity that the golden finger did not show any favorability, otherwise he would have at least given it a favor.

Speaking of the cheat code, Lu Yun also verified that live-fire shooting does help improve firearms skills, and it actually increased by 11 points in two hours!
If there was anything she was dissatisfied with, it was probably because Liu Xiaoxin's gun-holding action was not standard, causing pain in her shoulder from the butt of the gun.

A few days later, "Wolf Warrior 2" officially started filming, and Lu Yun attended the opening ceremony. After the photos of the scene were circulated, his fans were very surprised.

[Wasn't there a rumor going around about a "Li Lei and Han Mei Mei" film? Why is he filming a military action movie?]

[It's too late. I heard that the cake was snatched away by someone from the same company!]

[Huh? Li Lei and Han Meimei are such a hot topic, how did Lu Ge manage to be such a manager that they could be snatched away?]

[Lu Ge is a recent graduate and an outsider. He has no resources or background, so he can only be bullied!]

Let's go to the studio's Weibo account to protest!

Actually, Wolf Warrior 2 is pretty good. The first film received good ratings and grossed 5 million yuan at the box office. It's said the sequel could break 10 billion yuan.

[Don't listen to the marketing hype. Sequels are hard to make. There's a sequel curse.]

[Yeah, it’s not that I don’t believe Brother Yun, but this topic is too broad…]

Compared to fans' doubts, Rowoon actually seems to be having a great time on the set.

Originally, he had no scenes in the previous "African Street" shoot, and his scenes would not be concentrated until the end of the month after the filming moved to the "Factory". However, Lu Yun stayed under the banner of learning and adapting.

Anyway, I just won’t go back to the company.

The scene in "African Street" is about the protagonist trying to survive in the crazy crossfire between government forces and rebels. The "crooked businessman boss" is Brother Qian'er, who Wu Jing urgently found when the filming was about to start. He had just said "I am no longer a Chinese citizen last month" when the war broke out outside.

Soon the famous scene of "barbed wire catching rockets" arrived.

In fact, this is feasible in theory, mainly because most rockets use impact fuses, and they will explode only when there is sufficient impact force at the top. The principle of barbed wire is similar to "grid armor", which is to jam the rocket and prevent it from hitting the fuse.

However, the reason why it is only theoretical is because the "grille armor" is installed on tanks and armored vehicles, and the "grille armor" is also known as "probability armor."

This kind of interception is very probability-based.

People holding up barbed wire to block rockets...it also depends on probability.

If you don't block it, you will die 100%, but if you block it, you will have a 50% chance of survival.

Well, it's similar to many classic scenes in Hollywood action blockbusters, even a lot more restrained.

Just as Lu Yun was watching the famous scene outside the stadium, Yan Xinxin came over and said that Brother Liu called him.

"I've received an invitation to be a regular guest on the reality show 'Running Man'. Come back to Shanghai the day after tomorrow for an audition..."

Running challenge?
Lu Yun remembered that he had indeed been a permanent guest in his previous life on a startup variety show that copied Running Man and Go Fighting.

As a result, there was not even a splash.

But speaking of reality shows, Lu Yun really thought of a slow variety show that was newly created and not well-received. Calculating the time, it should be in preparation now, and the filming location is in a mountain village in Beijing.

So Lu Yun said, "Brother Liu, I won't go back to the Magic City. Why don't you come to Beijing and check out a reality show for me called "Longing for Life."

"?"

Liu Chun was stunned: "No, what do you mean..."

"Brother Liu, how about we make another bet?"

"..."
