Huayu: This top star doesn't play by the rules.

After spending two days filming the music video for "Never Lost Love," the crew moved to a pre-rented swimming pool to film the final music video, "Exchange of Lives."

The plot of this music video is the most complex of the four, involving parallel universes, as well as scenes of childhood and adulthood, making it quite difficult to film.

Holding the tablet, Ji Ran reported to Chen Chao, "Chao, I just received a message from Teacher Li Ronghao saying that the mixing and mastering of the album went very smoothly."

"We expect to receive the finished product before the 30th. Hao Ren is also in contact with Weibo Music about the premiere. Everything is proceeding smoothly according to plan."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Brother Ji Ran. By the way, have all the childhood actors arrived?" Chen Chao nodded and continued to ask.

"We've arrived, and they're getting their makeup done," Ji Ran said with a smile. "Also, our most important actor—the orange cat—is here too. Director Yi specially rented it from a pet store; it's exceptionally docile and photogenic."

"That's good, get ready..."

Before Chen Chao could finish speaking, the swimming pool door was suddenly pushed open, and accompanied by a loud voice that Chen Chao recognized very well, a figure walked in, looking around, "Chao! Your brother Lin is here to visit you on set!"

Chen Chao glanced at the figure instinctively and almost burst out laughing. The person was wearing a flashy down jacket, sunglasses, and carrying a large bag. It was none other than Lin Gengxin.

"Hey, Lin... Brother Gengxin, what brings you here?" Chen Chao was about to blurt out "Lin the Dog" on his own, but he suddenly realized what he was doing and quickly changed his address.

"I saw you guys were filming a music video in Shanghai while I was scrolling through Weibo. I happened to be free, so I came to visit you on set. How about that? Pretty nice, right?" Lin Gengxin strode over to Chen Chao, put his arm around his shoulder, and said with a grin.

At the same time, he handed the bag in his hand to Chen Chao, saying, "I brought you some local specialties from Northeast China: frozen pears and frozen persimmons. Try them."

Tian Xiwei and Zhang Ruonan, who were also on set, came over and looked curiously at the frozen pears and persimmons in the bag. After getting Chen Chao's permission, Tian Xiwei picked up a frozen pear and asked curiously, "How do you eat this? It's rock hard, it feels like a stone."

"Yes, you can eat it after soaking it in water for a while." Looking at the two girls who naturally moved closer to Chen Chao, Lin Gengxin raised an eyebrow and explained with a smile.

"Hello, Director Yi, I've heard so much about you!" Since there were two pretty girls he didn't know well, Lin Gengxin temporarily stopped messing around with Chen Chao and instead greeted Yi Laoshi, who was walking over.

"Mr. Lin Gengxin, you're too kind. I've read quite a few of your works." Yi Laoshi smiled and shook hands with Lin Gengxin.

After exchanging a few polite words with Iraoshi, Lin Gengxin looked around the swimming pool with curiosity. Then, as if he had thought of something, he leaned over to Chen Chao and whispered, "What are you filming today? Do you need any more actors? Your brother Lin can make a cameo appearance for free, just provide meals."

Faced with Lin Gengxin's question, Chen Chao turned to Yi Laoshi and said, "Director Yi, I'm still missing a swimming coach role, right? I think Brother Gengxin would be quite suitable."

Upon hearing Chen Chao's words, Yi Laoshi immediately realized what he meant and nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, Professor Lin, I wonder if you would be interested in making a cameo appearance?"

"Interested? Of course I'm interested!" Lin Gengxin nodded immediately when asked, patting his chest and saying, "It's just being a fitness instructor, right? Let me tell you, I'm a really good swimmer."

"Come on, last time you went swimming with us, you only swam for a few minutes before complaining of being tired and almost choking on water." Chen Chao didn't hesitate to expose someone's boasting.

"That was an accident! An accident!" Lin Gengxin glared at Chen Chao with considerable dissatisfaction and quickly changed the subject. "Hurry up and find me some clothes. I can't wait to start filming."

Soon, the crew found Lin Gengxin a swimming coach outfit based on his physique and gave him a simple makeup.

After finishing his makeup and changing his clothes, Lin Gengxin really did look somewhat like a swimming coach, except for that smirking expression on his face, which didn't seem very serious at all.

Standing by the pool, Lin Gengxin did some warm-up exercises and then gave an OK sign to the camera.

"Alright, get ready to film!" After watching the safety officers get into the water and prepare, Iraoshi shouted through a megaphone, "First scene: Little boy falls into the water, coach rescues him, all departments, prepare!"

Originally, this scene wasn't supposed to be filmed so quickly, but because Lin Gengxin wanted to make a cameo appearance, it was moved up.

With Irausch's command of "Action," the young actor playing the little boy began chasing the orange cat, then pretended to slip and fall into the pool.

Seeing this, Lin Gengxin immediately jumped in, swam to the little boy, and picked him up. But just as he was about to get ashore, he suddenly slipped and fell back into the pool with a "plop," splashing a huge spray of water that soaked the staff next to him.

"Cut!" Seeing this scene, Irausch couldn't help but laugh. "Teacher Lin, are you alright?"

Emerging from the water, Lin Gengxin wiped the water from his face and smiled somewhat awkwardly. "It's okay, it's okay, I just slipped. Let's try again!"

Having learned from the first experience, Lin Gengxin finally managed to rescue the little boy on the second shoot. Just when everyone thought the scene was about to end, he suddenly splashed a large handful of water in Chen Chao's direction.

Chen Chao, who had just approached specifically to see if he would make a fool of himself again, was caught off guard and had water splashed all over his face.

"Lin Gengxin!" Chen Chao glared at him and said through gritted teeth. If it weren't for Su Wan scolding him for getting his clothes wet, he would have gone down and started fighting with Lin Gengxin right now.

"Hahaha, who told you to embarrass me and laugh at me just now!" Seeing Chen Chao's discomfiture, Lin Gengxin burst into triumphant laughter.

With a somewhat helpless shout of "Cut!", Yi Laoshi shook his head and said, "Teacher Lin, can we be serious? If we keep doing NGs, we might not be able to finish today's filming schedule."

"OK, OK!"

During the subsequent filming, Lin Gengxin finally became serious and stopped causing any trouble. During breaks in filming, he pulled Chen Chao aside and shared some interesting stories from their time on the set of "Princess Agents" with Zhang Ruonan and Tian Xiwei, allowing these two fans of Chen Chao to see another side of him.

Around 5 PM, after finishing today's filming, Lin Gengxin generously offered to treat Chen Chao and the others to hot pot to celebrate the completion of his cameo role. The group found a decent restaurant and had a meal together.
