FV: Chapter 245

Lin Luoqing, “????”

“Forget it,” he said. “Director Li, talk to them and say that the two children aren’t professional actors and won’t play other roles. If they insist, give them my contact information.”

“Okay,” Director Li agreed.

Lin Luoqing looked down at the two children and felt it was amazing. Just a few minutes of shots attracted directors so much that they couldn’t forget it.

“Did you hear that?” He asked Lin Fei and Ji Leyu. “Someone asked Uncle Li for your contact information and wanted to ask you to film a movie.”

Ji Leyu looked up and asked, “Will they give money?”

Lin Luoqing laughed loudly. “You can’t film even if they give money. Otherwise, how can you go to school?”

Ji Leyu didn’t understand it very well. “It is winter vacation and I’m not going to school.”

Lin Luoqing touched his head and thought, ‘My simple baby. If you continue to film like this, school will start and you won’t be able to go to school properly.’

Teacher Zhang never thought that she would see her two students in the movie.

Out of support for the parent of her students, she brought her family to the theater on the first day of the Spring Festival and watched the movie ‘All the Way to the West’ together.

Then at the beginning of the movie, she saw Lin Fei. At the end of the movie, she saw Ji Leyu.

This…

Teacher Zhang had a bit of a headache. The parents of the students in her class, they wouldn’t watch this type of movie, right?

Teacher Zhang prayed silently. She hoped that they didn’t see it or it would be troublesome again!

However, the parents of the second grade, first year, had the same thoughts as her. They bought movie tickets early and brought their children to the theater to support Lin Luoqing.

As a result, they were watching when they saw their child’s eyes widen. “Lin Fei?”

The parents of the students of grade two, year one. ‘??? This was the legendary Lin Fei? Good guy, really handsome!’

Worthy of being the first place!

Wait, why was he in the movie?

Wasn’t he studying?

Was he still going to be a child actor?

Or was it because Lin Luoqing was filming that he made a cameo appearance?

The parents were thinking this and forgot about the plot. Then they heard their children cry out in surprise, “Ji Leyu?”

The parents thought, ‘…Okay, the two children have gone to film. It is worthy of being a parent. This is a really good balancing act and is worth learning from.’

That night, the parent chat group exploded. They asked Lin Luoqing why Lin Fei and Ji Leyu went to film.

They also couldn’t help praising Lin Fei and Ji Leyu for having good looks and being good at studying. It was simply enviable.

Teacher Zhang hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Lin Luoqing.

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu’s classmates were also secretly discussing it. Why did they go to film?

In this regard, Teacher Zhang gave a very official answer. [Lin Fei and Ji Leyu performed very well in the final exam last summer and got first and second place. As a result, their parents took them to the movie filming site. They were favored by the director and acted in a few scenes.]

[Children need encouragement. Parents in the class can learn from Lin Fei’s uncle. If your child improves, give them some encouragement.]

Lin Luoqing quickly agreed. [Yes.]

The parents said one after another: [That is natural.]

[But my child was so envious when he returned home.]

[Yes, of course, we can’t compare with Lin Fei’s uncle. His rewards are much more advanced than ours.]

[My child is already fantasizing about his future acting.]

[My baby has already started to dislike me for not being a star.]

[Similarly, my son is also like this. He is mad at me and isn’t looking at his own score. He should learn from Lin Fei. If he is as good as Lin Fei then he can go film a movie like Lin Fei.]

[Yes, I’m so mad.]

Lin Luoqing looked at it. He was about to comfort them when he heard a witty parent saying: [It is simple.]

[Just say that if they come first in the exam next time, you will also take them to film.]

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘Ah, this..’

The other parents: [How is this possible? We don’t know any directors.]

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘Yes.’

The wise parent who just spoke: [It’s okay.]

The other person’s profile picture looked like a man and when he spoke, he also had the heart of a straight man: [They can’t get first place in the exam, ahahaha. Once the time comes, it is their fault. It isn’t that we don’t let them go to film. It is that they can’t get first place. What can they do? [Amused]]

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…What a ruthless father!’

The parents thought, ‘This does seem to be the case. But why do I feel like the phrase ‘Can’t get first place in the exam’ is a bit uncomfortable?’

Also, was he so happy that his child couldn’t get first place?!

The parents couldn’t help sighing. Since Lin Fei was parachuted into their class, it didn’t matter whether it was the mid-term exam or final exam or what subject it was. He was always in first place and got full marks. It was simply impossible to surpass him.

This was true. Their children definitely couldn’t get first place in the exam.

Lin Luoqing looked at the parents in the group chat in a dumbfounded manner. They had thought up a method and went back to educate their children. Sure enough, his two children were the most sensible. Hehe.

After solving the matter of Teacher Zhang and the parents, he also searched the Internet for the evaluation of ‘All the Way to the West.’

It was as Wu Xinyuang said. Everyone’s evaluation of this movie was very good. They didn’t attack this movie because of Lin Luoqing’s status as a popular actor.

[It looks good, it looks good. Director Li is amazing. He is as stable as ever.]

[Wen Ziming and Hou Wenyu’s acting skills are really amazing. They should be partners. I hope to see them again next year during the Spring Festival.

[Then bring Lin Luoqing with you. It is only interesting if the nephew is with the uncles!]

[Hahaha, that’s right. Fu Xi and Lu Ming’s chemical reaction is absolutely perfect. The nephew and uncle are so cute!]

[Lin Luoqing is quite talented in comedy. He isn’t awkward at all. In particular, the scene where he was acting opposite Wen Ziming is simply a highlight.]

[To be honest, I wasn’t optimistic about this movie before. After all, Lin Luoqing has never acted in a movie before, let alone a comedy. I didn’t expect him to perform so well. It is amazing.]

[He is so handsome. Ahhh, Fu Xi is simply the male god of my dreams. For Fu Xi’s sake, I will watch it twice.]

[Me too. I also want to take a second look. Fu Xi is really amazing. Lin Luoqing is suitable to be this type of genius, cold boy. Please continue with a sequel.]

[Hahaha, when he acted in Radiant, people also said that he is suitable for a lively and cheerful young man. Then he is suitable for a lot of roles.]

[Lin Luoqing is really good. After watching this movie, I want to become a fan. He acted really well.]

[I am more and more optimistic about Lin Luoqing’s future now.]

Lin Luoqing happily looked at his phone. He was smiling when he saw someone post a question: [Can I take my children and parents to this movie?]

Fans immediately replied: [Yes, the movie is very funny and there are no dirty jokes. It won’t make people feel embarrassed. I took my parents to watch it and my parents were also very happy.]

[Yes, in addition, the two little actors in the movie are particularly good-looking. Hahaha, our little girl stared at the little brother for a long time.]

[Ahhhhhhh speaking of this, I’m not sleepy any longer. The little Fu Xi in the movie is really cute. I really like Fu Xi.]

[Xiao Xi is also very good-looking, especially in the scene where he looks back at Lin Luoqing. It was simply amazing. Did the director use this scene as a wallpaper? It is beautiful!]

[The children in this movie are really good-looking. My parents still can’t forget it after watching it. They hope I can also give birth to such a cute baby, haha.]

[They are really beautiful! In addition, the styles are different. Little Fu Xi is very cold and handsome and Xiao Xi is very beautiful. They are simply the best-looking among the child stars I have ever seen.]

[Does anyone know what the names of these two children are? I’m going to watch some of their other dramas or movies.]

[Me too. I’ve been searching for information about these two children for a day but I haven’t found them yet.]

[Hahaha, sisters go to the official Weibo page’s comments area to wait. The comments area is now asking for the children’s names and there are already thousands of people.]

Lin Luoqing, “???”

Lin Luoqing clicked in curiously. Sure enough, he saw that under the last Weibo post on the official page, many people left messages asking who played little Fu Xi and Xiao Xi.

[Ahhhh I waited until the end in order to see the cast list. I waited and waited but didn’t see anything. These two children acted so well. Why aren’t they on the cast list? Does the director think this is reasonable?]

[Please tell me the name. Xiao Xi is simply my dream baby. I just want to know his name. Is this too much to ask?]

[Who is little Fu Xi? He really looks like Lin Luoqing! Did they steal Lin Luoqing’s childhood self?]

[The actor is really perfect. Due to the similarity between little Fu Xi and big Fu Xi, I can feel the seriousness of the crew. Can you tell me the name of little Fu Xi? I want to see his other works.]

Lin Luoqing didn’t know that netizens would pay so much attention to the two children and be so interested in them.

It was understandable for directors to notice Lin Fei and Ji Leyu. After all, even Director Li acknowledged their acting skills. In addition to their outstanding looks, they didn’t show any disadvantages on the screen. Rather, their facial features became more and more exquisite.  One was handsome and the other was as beautiful as an elf. When the two of them were added together, it was inevitable that directors who needed young actors would notice them.

However, netizens also liked them very much. Sure enough, regardless of age, appearance was the best fan attraction.

Director Li saw the situation on the official Weibo page and had to call Lin Luoqing again. He asked if he still couldn’t mention their names.

Lin Luoqing replied, “Yes, the two of them are still in school. If it isn’t mentioned, people can think they made a mistake when they see it in the future. However, it will become a certainty if the name is mentioned. Forget it.”

Director Li couldn’t do anything. He could only post two Weibo posts about Lin Fei and Ji Leyu the next day.

They were stills and the text attached explained that they didn’t cast young actors. The other party wasn’t a child star in the circle. They just came to play during the summer vacation and were caught to film these two roles. They were still in school so their names couldn’t be revealed.

Netizens received this answer and were shocked. [So I can’t see them any longer?]

[Oh my god, can I only meet my dream baby in my dreams? If this is to make me watch it three times then you won. I will watch it three times. Wu wu wu, babies, Auntie is coming to look at you again.]

[I can’t believe it. They aren’t child stars. They came over casually but their acting skills are so good? Many charms of little Fu Xi and big Fu Xi are exactly the same, okay? His acting skills are almost catching up with Lin Luoqing. Is this just casually playing?]

[Little Fu Xi is really smart. He and Wen Ziming acted with ease. Even helplessness, disgust and pride are well-acted. Finally, he left a photo for his two uncles. I cried when I acted. Is this just an amateur?]

[I’m gone. I thought that Xiao Xi must be a child actor since he is so good-looking. He is suitable for the big screen and his face is as beautiful as a doll on the camera. In order to see it, I bought another ticket!]

Netizens were so incredulous and shocked that they moved the photos of the official Weibo to the forum, wailing that this couldn’t be true.

Many netizens who didn’t have time to watch the movie came in curiously and were instantly amazed by the still of Lin Fei and Ji Leyu in the main post.

[F*k! Is this a still from ‘All the Way to the West’? Why weren’t these still photos released for publicity?]

[To protect the children. The crew won’t even say their names QAQ.]

[Ahhhhh, the wreath killed me, especially the child with the wreath. It is so beautiful. I will go and buy a ticket now. I want to see this scene on the big screen.]

[Can I ask if these two children appear a lot? I kind of want to see the two of them but I’m afraid they won’t have many scenes.]

[There are indeed not many scenes but it is still worth watching! The scenes between little Fu Xi and Wen Ziming are very interesting and Xiao Xi’s scenes are beautiful. The director must’ve been very careful when filming Xiao Xi or such scenes couldn’t be shot. It is beautiful. When I watched it, I wanted to steal him from the screen.]

[Me too. I want to steal both babies.]

Soon the marketing account moved this post to Weibo.

The netizens who had seen ‘All the Way to the West’ all left promotional messages while those who hadn’t seen it were talking about the appearance of Lin Fei and Ji Leyu.

Seeing this, other marketing accounts smelled something and reported it. After a while, Lin Fei and Ji Leyu were on the hot search with the topic #High-value Summer Vacation Job#.

Netizens clicked in curiously and saw the Weibo posts and photos from the marketing accounts. They exclaimed that this was really a high-value summer vacation job.

[It is still child labor!]

[So cute, so cute. For this type of child, I can rub them until they are bald.]

[All the Way to the West, huh? I got it, I will go and take a look.]

In this way, Lin Fei and Ji Leyu inexplicably went on the hot search and got a wave of passersby fans. This inexplicably caused another wave of promotion for the movie, reaching some unexpected audiences.

Lin Luoqing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He thought it was a good thing that he didn’t let Director Li add their names to the cast, otherwise how could they go to school when winter vacation was over.

Director Li said emotionally, “The eyes of the masses are discerning. I said that they are very suitable for the entertainment industry. Alas, I really hope that when they grow up, they will be nephews who inherit their uncle’s business.”

Lin Luoqing naturally didn’t hear Director Li’s exclamation. He was busy packing his luggage and preparing to go to the next road show.

The word-of-mouth and box office growth of ‘All the Way to the West’ was very good now. Therefore, he wanted to work harder to let ‘All the Way to the West’ win the box office championship for the Spring Festival period. This way, his development in the movie industry in the future would also be better.

This was his first movie and Lin Luoqing naturally hoped to have the best results!
