[Chinese Idiom Dictionary: Pan Ga's Friendship]

[Source: Uncle Pan educates Ga Zi on selling counterfeit alcohol, stating bluntly that he doesn't understand the virtual world of the internet and shouldn't have sold alcohol via livestream. This is an elder advising a younger person who has made a mistake.]

[Later, because Uncle Pan turned around and started selling wine via live streaming, the meaning of the phrase changed. Now it generally refers to a ruthless act in the business world, such as undermining a competitor's chances through trickery, and also specifically refers to a hypocritical relationship between a junior and a senior.]

Synonyms: Openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass.

Antonyms: showing kindness and receiving guidance; offering direct instruction.

"puff!"

Lu Yun laughed immediately when he saw this; netizens are just too talented.

An Fangfei, who was next to him, asked curiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"look!"

Lu Yun showed his phone to An Fangfei, who immediately smiled.

"Oh, so that's what it is. I've been following this for the past couple of days. Netizens are quick to turn against Uncle Pan."

"Just a few days ago, he was 'Uncle Pan teaching Ga Zi,' but then he started selling fake liquor himself. And just a few days ago, netizens were calling him an 'old artist,' but now he's known as 'Pan Zi.' He's really ruined his reputation in his later years..."

The two were putting on makeup, but Lu Yun finished quickly, so he could relax and play on his phone.

Today is the day filming wraps up for "The Wandering Earth 2". The two of them are going to shoot the last scene, and then Guo Fan can announce that filming is over. After that, there will be a wrap party.

At times like this, we don't shoot any difficult scenes. We only filmed a few wrap-up shots this morning, and we can just film a simple scene this afternoon to get through the motions. So Guo Fan chose to film the wedding scene for Lu Yun and An Fangfei...

Oh, it's for filming the wedding scene for Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo.

This was originally a scene from the middle of a movie, depicting their wedding, including the scene at the beginning where Liu Peiqiang immediately thought of the character for "double happiness" and children when he saw Han Duoduo.

Guo Fan managed to film all of these scenes in the final cut. A couple of days ago, he even filmed the wedding banquet scene. Sha Yi plays the "master," who is the groom's parent, while Uncle Da plays "Han Ziang," who is the bride's parent.

Thanks to Lu Yun's reminder, Uncle Da discovered his illness early on and has been actively seeking treatment.

In addition, the filming of "The Wandering Earth 2" took place a year earlier than the previous one, so Uncle Da was in good health and could come directly to the set to film without needing to do CG restoration.

The last scene was a wedding photo shoot, and after filming, we had a wrap party, so we treated it as a wedding feast.

"I am willing!"

"Would the groom like to say a few words?"

"What else is there to say? These days it's not easy for everyone to eat something good. Let's start the feast! Everyone, eat and drink to your heart's content!"

As soon as Lu Yun finished speaking, Guo Fan stood up from the director's chair and shouted, "Cut! That take is a wrap!"

"I hereby announce that filming for 'The Wandering Earth 2' has wrapped!"

"Oh oh oh oh!"

Hearing the commotion, Guo Fan waved his hand with a smile: "Alright, alright, everyone calm down. Everyone, hurry up and get ready. Since the groom said 'eat and drink well,' let's start our wrap party right away!"

"Hahahaha~"

Everyone laughed.

Some of Lu Yun's close friends even asked him, "Groom, when are you really going to let us attend your wedding banquet?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun turned around and pointed, "You know what, it's really fast! I'll definitely invite everyone then, but I won't invite you!"

"Hey, hey, no! Brother Lu, God Lu..."

"Haha!" With filming wrapped up, everyone was in high spirits. After a burst of laughter, they went to the wrap party.

The group ate and chatted, exchanging news about the film and television industry and where they would work after filming wrapped up here.

Some talked about world politics, such as small countries using guns and cannons while big countries use verbal attacks, each one acting like an international relations expert.

There was also talk about Lu Yun and An Fangfei. I didn't expect that when I asked them casually earlier, they actually had plans to get married.

"These two are truly a model couple in the entertainment industry. They've been dating for several years, always sweet and loving, and they're always showing off their affection. I never expected them to get married so soon."

"Yes, other celebrity couples either have long-term relationships or they keep it secret. They're so open and honest, just like any other couple."

"That's true. The entertainment industry looks glamorous, but putting everything else aside, it's a luxury for celebrity couples to even dream of dating like ordinary couples."

"The main reason is that they are all bound by various reasons, unlike Lu Yun and An Fangfei who are so carefree. These two are known in the entertainment industry for being detached from worldly affairs, and the things in the entertainment industry cannot bind them at all."

"Haha, that's right. Sister Fei became famous early and has high national recognition. She has already achieved great success. Although Brother Yun became famous later, he is a big shot in the aerospace industry. He is just here to experience life in the entertainment industry."

"Lu Shen isn't just experiencing life in the entertainment industry; his acting skills are exceptionally good, and I think he'd be a shoo-in for Best Actor..."

The news that "The Wandering Earth 2" has wrapped up filming is no small matter. Not to mention its popularity in China, it has also generated a lot of buzz overseas.

After all, it concerns Lu Yun.

Leaving aside his original fans and space enthusiasts, some official departments in the United States are now paying special attention to his news.

NASA also took note, after all, they had sent an elite agent to Earth's space program, Simon, who was already a commercial astronaut.

Moreover, the mission performed very well, transmitting back a lot of useful intelligence and even some technical data, which accelerated the research progress of the X-33 single-stage-to-orbit space shuttle and its enlarged version, "Adventure Star".

Especially the X-33, if all goes well, could make its maiden flight in the third quarter of this year!
Of course, they didn't know that these technologies had been vetted before being passed on to them.

Because Simon is already under Lu Yun's control, and now he has a loyal heart!
However, the atmosphere inside NASA's special office is also quite lively right now.

"Making a movie is really troublesome; we've only just finished filming it."

"Has anyone said when it will be released?"

"It will probably be released in February next year, during the Chinese New Year."

"Wow, it'll take this long? I can't wait to see our elite agents in those super sci-fi blockbusters from China, haha!"

"The absurdity of this incident is skyrocketing. I never expected something like this to happen when I first started the mission."

"Yes, Simon is indeed an elite agent. Not only did he retrieve technical intelligence that allowed our space shuttle project to progress rapidly, but according to his report, he now has a very good relationship with Lu Yun. Lu Yun values ​​him highly, and when the two chat, Lu Yun often talks about our aerospace technology and the future. He always hopes that cooperation between the two countries will be even better. So he feels that the probability of turning Lu Yun to the other side is rising sharply."

"That's good. Our space shuttle is progressing very quickly now, and the probability of Lu Yun being turned is getting higher and higher. By the way, have you reached an agreement with Hollywood?"

“There has been a lot of progress. They have agreed to assist us, but they are unwilling to give Hollywood blockbusters the same opening resources. They only want to give half, which is 2000 screens.”

"Hollywood blockbusters open in at least 4000 theaters, but if they only give them 2000 theaters..."

"Actually, that's quite a lot. After all, most Chinese films only get around 100 screenings in North America."

"That's quite a lot, but let's discuss it further. After all, this is for the sake of the Federation's overall interests!"

"understood."

"Guys, we have news from command center! The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter carried by the Perseverance rover has successfully taken off and landed, becoming the first controlled spacecraft to fly on another planet! This marks another breakthrough in human spaceflight!"

"Great, fantastic! The Federation truly is the most powerful nation on Earth, and we are the most elite race!"
